It is in the subfamily Mantinae of the family Mantidae. Common names include Japanese giant mantis, オオカマキリ oo-kamakiri ("large mantis") in Japan. Korean '왕사마귀'("King mantis") also described T. aridifolia, now korean species is considered Chinese mantis(Tenodera sinensis). Like other mantids, about 200 nymphs usually hatch out of an ootheca.
