ToxoderaServille (1837) Annals. Soc. ent. Fr. 6: 27 is the type genus of mantises in the family Toxoderidae, known for their stick mimicry. There are four confirmed species in Borneo restricted to old-growth forests, and are considered to be rare. Species of the South-East Asian Toxoderini inhabit beneath the forest canopy. Not much is known regarding their ecology. Males however, are often attracted to lights.Schwarz, Christian & Konopik, Oliver. (2014).
