AbstractSome giant mantid species of the genera    Sphodromantis    Stål, 1871 and    Hierodula    Burmeister, 1838 have been found spreading their distribution through the Palearctic, but none of the species have been recorded from the Adriatic coast of Croatia, where numerous local species already co-exist, such as    Mantis   religiosa    (Linnaeus, 1758) and    Iris   oratoria    (Linnaeus, 1758). In this study, we present the first records of the giant African mantis (   Sphodromantis   viridis    (Forskål, 1775)), the Indochina mantis (   Hierodula   patellifera    Serville, 1839), and the giant Asian mantis (   Hierodula   tenuidentata    Saussure, 1869) from Croatia. A small population of    S.   viridis    was observed in the southernmost county of Croatia (Dubrovnik); a single record of    H.   patellifera    comes from the westernmost part of the country (Istria), while the first two specimens of    H.   tenuidentata    were observed in the central part of the Croatian coast (Šibenik). These alien species represent three new taxa for the mantid fauna of Croatia, which now counts 9 or 10 species (depending on inclusion of    Ameles   heldreichi    Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1882). The fast spreading of these species in Europe proves their adaptation to regions where they have arrived; thus, future monitoring of the species must be conducted in order to determine their impact on native fauna.
