The Mantodea Species File [2] and Tree of Life list: [3]
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.
Tenodera is a genus of mantis in the family Mantidae which contains several species of praying mantises. The species in this genus can be found primarily in Africa, Asia and Australia, but also North America.
Creobroter is a genus of flower mantises in the tribe Hymenopodini; species are concentrated in Asia. The name comes from the Greek kreo-, meaning "flesh") and broter" meaning "eating", therefore, "flesh-eating", an apt name for a predatory insect. Both sexes have long wings and are capable fliers. Full-grown males are about 3 to 4 cm in length; females are about 4 to 5 cm.
Acromantinae is a subfamily of the mantis family Hymenopodidae which contains two tribes and about 13 genera.
Acromantis is a genus of Asian praying mantids in the subfamily Acromantinae of the family Hymenopodidae.
Hestiasula is a genus of Asian praying mantids in the subfamily Oxypilinae of the family Hymenopodidae.
Thespidae is a family of 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. Many genera are Neotropical, but the Thespinae are represented in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America.
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.
Euchomenella is a genus of mantids and typical of the tribe Euchomenellini. Current records are from Vietnam and Borneo.
Odontomantis is a genus of mantids in the family Hymenopodidae; species can be found in tropical Asia.
Hapalopeza is an Asian genus of praying mantis in the family Gonypetidae. Two species, previously placed here, are now in the genus Spilomantis.
Deiphobe is an Asian genus of praying mantids: in the family Rivetinidae.
Leptomantella is a genus of praying mantids and typical of the new (2019) family Leptomantellidae. Species have been recorded from Asia.
Humbertiella is a genus of praying mantids in the subfamily Gonypetinae found in Asia.
The Haaniidae are a new (2019) family of praying mantids, based on the type genus Haania. The first use of "Haaniidae" was by Giglio-Tos and it was revived as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy; genera in the subfamily Haaniinae havie been moved here from the family Thespidae.
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 Nanomantidae are a new (2019) family of praying mantises, based on the type genus Nanomantis. As part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, genera and tribes have been moved here, substantially replacing the old family Iridopterygidae.
The Rivetinidae are a family of praying mantids, based on the type genus Rivetina. As part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, this family contains many genera moved from Miomantinae: tribe Rivetinini; some genera previously placed there have now been moved to the new families Deroplatyidae and Chroicopteridae. The new placement of this taxon is in the superfamily Eremiaphiloidea and infraorder Schizomantodea.
The Chroicopteridae are a new (2019) family of praying mantids, based on the type genus Chroicoptera. The name is derived from first use, for subfamily Chroicopterinae, by Giglio-Tos and it has been revived as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy. Some genera have also been moved here from the tribe Rivetinini, with others placed elsewhere including the subfamily Miomantinae.
