The Mantodea Species File [2] lists:
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.
Hymenopodidae is a family of the order Mantodea (mantises), which contains six subfamilies. Some of the species in this family mimic flowers and are found camouflaged among them; these are called flower mantises. Their coloration is aggressive mimicry, luring prey to approach close enough to be seized and eaten.
The genus Mantis is in the family Mantidae, of the mantis order Mantodea.
Liturgusidae is a family of praying mantids in the new (2019) Neotropical superfamily Acanthopoidea. A substantial number of genera, previously placed here, have recently been moved to the new or revived other families:
Amantis is a genus of praying mantids native to Asia and the islands of the Pacific Ocean and now belongs to the monotypic tribe Amantini of the subfamily Iridopteryginae.
Rhombodera is a genus of praying mantises native to Asia and possessing common names such as shield mantis, hood mantis, and leaf mantis because of their extended, leaf-like thoraxes.
Titanodula fruhstorferi is a praying mantis species in the subfamily Hierodulinae.
Rhombodera basalis known as Malaysian shield mantis, is a species of praying mantis of the genus Rhombodera.
Rhombodera lingulata is a species of praying mantises in the family Mantidae, found in Asia.
Thespidae is a family of Neotropical insects in the order Mantodea. Following a major revision of this order in 2019, the old-world subfamilies Haaniinae and Hoplocoryphinae, previously placed here, have been upgraded to family level.
Deroplatyinae is a subfamily in the new (2019) family Deroplatyidae, containing species found in South-East Asia.
Charieis is a genus of mantids in the family Tarachodidae. It is a monotypic genus with a single recognised species, Charieis peeli.
Euchomenella is a genus of mantids and typical of the tribe Euchomenellini. Current records are from Vietnam and Borneo.
Bimantis malaccana is an Asian species of praying mantids in the subfamily Gonypetinae and belonging to the monotypic genus Bimantis; no subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life. Bimantis malaccana was described in 1904 as belonging to the genus Ameles.
Tricondylomimus is an Asian genus of praying mantis in the family Iridopterygidae.
Phasmomantella is an genus of praying mantids placed in the tribe Euchomenellini and family Deroplatyidae. The two known species appear to be endemic to Vietnam.
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.
Chlorocalis maternaschulzei is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae and tribe Hierodulini. Records of this species are from the seasonal tropical forests of Thailand and Vietnam; the type specimen is from Nakhon Ratchasima Province.
Titanodula is a genus of mantids in the subfamily Hierodulinae. There are currently four species placed in Titanodula. The genus is endemic to Asia and is distinguished from the similar genus Hierodula by the large size and unique male genitalia of its member species.
