Following the WikiProject Arthropods guideline:

"In cases where a group only contains a single subgroup, the two should not be separated. If there is no common name, the article should generally go under the scientific name that is most often used when discussing the group, or under the scientific name of lowest rank if there is no clear preference. However, for a genus that contains a single species, the genus name should be used since it is included in the binomial. For instance the order Amphionidacea, which has the single species Amphionides reynaudii, is discussed at Amphionides."

Accordingly, any mantis genera with a single species need to be in an article for that genus name, not for the species name. Thanks. Dyanega (talk) 17:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Problems with the "Cultivation" Section
I'm reworking the cultivation section for two reasons. First, i'm renaming it, because cultivation implies that the natural state of the insect is to be cultivated, like a domesticated species, which it is not. I am changing the name to "in captivity" to make clear that this is not like a dog or a cat, or corn or apple trees for that matter. Second, it cites "one breeder in the UK" and other such vague, non-encyclopedic sources, expressing opinions rather than facts. This is not appropriate for wikipedia. I am going to attempt to rewrite the section retaining the factual information but excising the inappropriate hearsay and editorializing. I will not have time to find references, so that would be great if someone else could take care of that later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avgusztyn (talk • contribs) 00:24, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
