Amantis malayana is a species of praying mantis native to Indonesia, on the islands of Bacan, Kaisa,[Note 1] and Sulawesi.[3]

Notes

  1. The place name "Kaisa" does not seem to appear in modern records. However, Alfred Russel Wallace visited the Kaisa Islands in about 1859. Wallace seems to be the first to have documented this insect, likely in 1889. Little is known about this insect, other than that it lives in terrestrial environments in Indonesia. [1] "Kaisa" was alternatively spelled "Kaisaa", and has been identified as Kayoa,[2] within the Bacan archipelago. A. malayana was reported on "Kaisa" in 1889.[3]
