Mantophasmatidae is a family of carnivorous wingless insects within the monotypic order Mantophasmatodea, which was discovered in Africa in 2001. Recent evidence indicates a sister group relationship with Grylloblattidae, and Arillo and Engel have combined the two groups into a single order, Notoptera, with Grylloblattodea and Mantophasmatodea ranked as suborders.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Notoptera</span> Superorder of wingless insects

The wingless insect superorder Notoptera, a group first proposed in 1915, had been largely unrecognized since its original conception, until resurrected in 2004. As now defined, the superorder comprises five families, three of them known only from fossils, two known from both fossil and living representatives, and fewer than 60 known species in total.
