Toxodera hauseri is a species of praying mantis found in Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Java, and Borneo.[1] However, the recorded occurrence from Borneo was based solely on a photographic record from Poring Hot Springs,[2] or at least until the examination of a physical specimen from a private collection validated it.[3] This species closely resembles T. fimbriata but is distinguished by the greater width of the leaf-like expansions of the medial femurs.
Etymology
Named after Austrian entomologist, Dr. Bernd Hauser.
