Titanodula fruhstorferi[1] is a praying mantis species in the subfamily Hierodulinae.[2]
This species may be endemic to Vietnam.[3]
Taxonomy
[edit]T. fruhstorferi was originally placed in Hierodula, but a 2020 study moved the species to a new genus, Titanodula, based on its large size and the unique shape of the male genitalia.[4]
