Toxodera hauseri is a species of praying mantis found in Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Java, and Borneo.[1] However, there are no records of a Bornean specimen of T. hauseri, only a photographic record from Poring Hot Springs.[2] This species closely resembles T. fimbriata but is distinguished by the greater width of the leaf-like expansions of the medial femurs.
