The following criteria served as indices of adult size: the width of the head capsule measured through the eyes at their widest point in anterior view; the length of the forewing from the base of the subcosta to the wing tip; and the length of the pronotum, as seen in lateral view, from the posterior point of articulation with the cervical sclerites to the point of articulation with the mesothorax. These were compared with similar measurements taken from the largest and smallest wild-caught males and females available to us. Head capsule measurements were com- pared by means of a two-way ANOVA via multiple regression analysis using food groups and sex of the mantispid as main effects, assuming no interaction. RESULTS Oviposition Large individual clutches of eggs were deposited as a series of curved rows produced by the slow back-and-forth movement of.
