thank you Mr Goldfish... Interesting info.
Mr. Goldfish
Statilia maculata is probably the only species of Statilia in Japan. But there is Statilia nemoralis in South Korea. There are also Tenodera angustipennis, Tenodera sinensis(?) and Hierodula patellifera in Japan and maybe some more in the southern islands of Japan.
