Tricondylomimus[1] is an Asian genus of praying mantis in the family Gonypetidae.[2] Formerly considered as a junior synonym of the genus Nemotha, Chopard's original genus name was restored in 2017.[3] The name is for the similarity to tiger beetles in the genus Tricondyla contributed by the pronotal shape and color.[4]
