Two New Species of Brunneria Saussure, 1869 (Mantodea: Coptopterygidae) with Novel Diagnostic Characters and a Key to the Species

Abstract. Documentation of the first specimen-based records of Mantodea from Aruba is provided with description of two new species of Brunneria: xerophila n. sp. from Aruba and prominens n. sp. from northeastern Brazil. Additional material referable to orinocensis allows for a redescription of that species and the first description of its female. A revised dichotomous key for both sexes of Brunneria is provided, incorporating diagnostic characters previously overlooked or underutilized in species identification.
