The genus Vates Burmeister, 1838, in French Guiana, with the description of two new species (Mantodea, Mantidae, Vatinae)

Vates marmorata n. sp. and Vates patrinata n. sp. (Mantidae, Vatinae) are described from French Guiana. The new species are close to V. biplagiata and V. festae, all exhibiting strong tubercles along pronotal margins but differing in male genital structures. Description, images, and measurements of anatomical parts are presented, along with distributional, natural history, and DNA barcoding data. A key to species of Vates known in French Guiana is formulated. This study highlights the value of DNA barcoding in disclosing hidden diversity in Mantodea, especially when coupled with traditional taxonomic tools.
