Several new records are presented on some of the least known mantis species in the Iberian Peninsula. From data collected in Portugal, their analysis has proven to represent an important advancement in the knowledge of this group of insects for the country and the Western Mediterranean area. Twenty new citations provide a better understanding on the distribution of the crepuscular species Perlamantisallibertii, the IUCN red listed Apteromantisaptera and the first Portuguese records of Sphodromantisviridis, extending their western limits of occurrence in Europe. The data thus gathered emphasizes the need to invest in biodiversity assessment for increased knowledge on species distribution and phenology but also for monitoring over time, essential to better ascertaining ecosystem services, the effects of climate change and habitat conservation.
本文展示了伊比利亚半岛一些最鲜为人知的螳螂物种的若干新记录。根据在葡萄牙收集的数据，分析结果证明，这对于该国以及西地中海地区此类昆虫的知识而言是一项重要进展。二十条新记录有助于更好地了解黄昏活动的物种佩氏螳螂（Perlamantis allibertii）、世界自然保护联盟红色名录中的无翅螳螂（Apteromantis aptera）以及绿巨螳（Sphodromantis viridis）在葡萄牙的首次记录，扩展了它们在欧洲的西部分布界限。由此收集的数据强调了投资于生物多样性评估的必要性，这不仅有助于增加对物种分布和物候的了解，还能进行长期监测，而这对于更好地确定生态系统服务、气候变化的影响以及栖息地保护至关重要。
