Stagmatopterinae was a subfamily of the Mantidae, a family of insects within the order of mantises (Mantodea). Many of the genera have now been placed in the subfamily Vatinae . [1]
The Stagmatopterinae subfamily consisted of 6 genera, and 50 species. [2]
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.
Mantinae is a subfamily of praying mantids of the family Mantidae. It was authored by Hermann Burmeister in 1838.
The genus Mantis is in the family Mantidae, of the mantis order Mantodea.
The burying mantis is a species of mantis native to Australia. They are grey/brown or green, frequently with mottled patterning on the wings, and a have distinctive pale tubercles on the forelegs. Both sexes can reach lengths of up to 70 mm long. Their common name comes from the behaviour of females, which infrequently bury their oothecae underground.
Liturgusidae is a family of praying mantises 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:
Oxyopsis gracilis, common name South American green mantis, is a species of praying mantis native to South America. It is a medium sized mantis with adult females reaching 3” in length and adult males growing to about 1.5” in length. Individuals of these species are usually bright green.
Sphodromantis gastrica, with the common names African mantis or common green mantis, is a species of praying mantis from Africa.
Iridopterygidae was a family of praying mantids in the order Mantodea whose members, having formerly been moved here as a subfamily within Mantidae, have now been transferred elsewhere as part of the recent (2019) major revision of mantid taxonomy.
Lobocneme is a genus consisting of 3 species of mantises in the tribe Oxyopsidini.
Pseudoxyops is a genus consisting of 5 species of mantises in the subfamily Vatinae.
Deroplatyini is a tribe of the subfamily Deroplatyinae of the family Mantidae of Mantodea.
Parastagmatoptera immaculata is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae.
Parastagmatoptera simulacrum is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae. It is found in North America.
Parastagmatoptera unipunctata is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae.
Parastagmatoptera zernyi is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae.
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.
Lobocneme icterica is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae found in South America.
