New Records of Stagmomantis limbata1 for Three States of Central Mexico.

The mantids of Mexico are not well known. We found records of Stagmomantis limbata Hahn for the states of Guerrero, Morelos, and Puebla, in central Mexico, and discuss the geographical range and weather variables in the recorded information. Results suggested that, at least S. limbata was found in deciduous forest, grassland, and cloudy forest vegetation in places with semi-warm to temperate climates throughout Balsas and Tuxpan-Nautla hydological regions.
