Brunneria is a genus of praying mantises in family Mantidae. They are often called stick mantis for their slender shape and the species of the genus are native to the Americas.
The following species are recognised in the genus Brunneria: [1]
Mantidae is one of the largest families in the order of praying mantises, based on the type species Mantis religiosa; however, most genera are tropical or subtropical. Historically, this was the only family in the order, and many references still use the term "mantid" to refer to any mantis. Technically, however, "mantid" refers only to members of the family Mantidae, and not the 14 remaining families of mantises. Some of the most recent classifications have promoted a number of the mantid subfamilies to the rank of family, e.g. Iridopterygidae, Sibyllidae, Tarachodidae, Thespidae, and Toxoderidae, while other classifications have reduced the number of subfamilies without elevating to higher rank.
The genus Mantis is in the family Mantidae, of the mantis order Mantodea.
Compsomantis crassiceps is a species of praying mantis found in Borneo and Java.
Brunneria brasiliensis, common name Brazilian stick mantis, is a species of praying mantis found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay.
Acanthops falcataria, common name South American dead leaf mantis, is a species of praying mantis in the family Acanthopidae. It is not to be confused with Acanthops falcata, a different species in the same genus that is often referred to with the same common name.
Bolbe pygmaea is a species of praying mantis in the genus Bolbe in the family Iridopterygidae of the order Mantodea. It is endemic to Australia.
Hierodula atrocoxata is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae.
Hierodula latipennis is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae.
Hierodula modesta is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae.
Hierodula multispinulosa is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae.
Hierodula obtusata is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae.
Hierodula purpurescens is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae.
Rhombodera valida is a species of praying mantises in the family Mantidae, found in Indomalaya.
Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 30 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis.
Deroplatyini is a tribe of the subfamily Deroplatyinae of the family Mantidae of Mantodea.
Statilia is a genus of praying mantis that resembles dead or living grass. Statilia species live in Australia, Africa, Asia and islands.
Coptopterygidae is a family of mantids in the order Mantodea. There are at least 2 genera and more than 20 described species in Coptopterygidae.
The Hierodulinae are a subfamily of praying mantids, originally used by Brunner von Wattenwyl. It was restored as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, and now contains genera previously placed elsewhere in the family Mantidae.
The Deroplatyidae are a new (2019) family of praying mantises, based on the type genus Deroplatys. As part of a major revision of mantis taxonomy, the subfamily Deroplatyinae has been moved here from the previously-structured family Mantidae.
