An integrative taxonomic analysis of Hierodula patellifera (Audinet-Serville) is presented based on morphological and molecular characters (COI, 28S rDNA). During repeated trips to the Korean peninsula, we collected unusual specimens from Wanju-gun. They were similar to H. patellifera, but can be distinguished by a larger body size, the number and shape of spines on foreleg, and the shape of male genitalia. To examine the phenotypes and delimit H. patellifera from fourteen sampled populations, we used forecoxal spines and male genitalia as key morphological characters, as well as molecular data including gene tree monophyly and genetic divergence data. The molecular analyses (p-distance, neighbor-joining, and parsimony analyses) did not separate the specimens as two distinct species. The diagnostic characters of H. patellifera are illustrated with habitus images.
本文基于形态学和分子特征（COI、28S rDNA）对 Hierodula patellifera（Audinet-Serville）进行了综合分类分析。在多次前往朝鲜半岛的过程中，我们在完州郡采集到了一些不寻常的标本。它们与 H. patellifera 相似，但可以通过更大的体型、前腿上刺的数量和形状以及雄性生殖器的形状来区分。为了研究表型并从 14 个采样种群中界定 H. patellifera，我们使用前腿刺和雄性生殖器作为关键形态特征，以及包括基因树单系性和遗传分歧数据在内的分子数据。分子分析（p 距离、邻接法和简约法分析）并未将这些标本分离为两个不同的物种。H. patellifera 的诊断特征用生境图像进行了说明。
