Liturgusa is the type genus of praying mantids of the family Liturgusidae. The genus consists of more than twenty species with a Neotropical distribution. Liturgusa behaviour is remarkable in that, in contrast to other mantids, they do not ambush their prey, but use an active hunting method at high walking speed.
