Mantodea
Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 460 genera in 33 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. The closest relatives of mantises are termites and cockroaches (Blattodea), which are all within the superorder Dictyoptera. Mantises are sometimes confused with stick insects (Phasmatodea), other elongated insects such as grasshoppers (Orthoptera), or other more distantly related insects with raptorial forelegs such as mantisflies (Mantispidae). Mantises are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwelling spe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Acanthopidae
Acanthopidae is a family of mantises consisting of 16 genera in the order Mantodea. The group was first formally split off as a separate family by the German entomologist Reinhard Ehrmann in 2002. In 2016, five genera (''Acontista'', ''Callibia'', '' Paratithrone'', '' Raptrix'', and '' Tithrone'') were moved from Acanthopidae to the newly created family Acontistidae, but this has not been accepted in most recent classifications. Genera The following genera are recognised in the family Acanthopidae: * ''Acanthops'' Serville, 1831 * ''Acontista'' Saussure, 1872 * '' Astollia'' Kirby, 1904 * '' Callibia '' Stal, 1877 * '' Decimiana'' Uvarov, 1940 * '' Lagrecacanthops'' Roy, 2004 * '' Metacanthops'' Agudelo, Maldaner & Rafael, 2019 * '' Metilia'' Stal, 1877 * '' Miracanthops'' Roy, 2004 * '' Ovalimantis'' Roy, 2015 * '' Paratithrone'' Lombardo, 1996 * '' Plesiacanthops'' Chopard, 1913 * '' Pseudacanthops'' Saussure, 1870 * '' Raptrix'' Terra, 1995 * ''Stenophylla '' Westwood, 1845 * ...

List Of Mantis Genera And Species
The following list of mantis genera and species is based on the "Mantodea Species File", which is the primary reference for the taxonomy shown here. The insect Order (biology), order Mantodea consists of over 2,400 species of mantises in about 460 genus, genera. 75 of these genera are in the Family (biology), family Mantidae (the mantids), which formerly was sole family recognized within the order. In some cases, common names in the English language are loosely applied to several different members of a particular genus, or even for species in various genera. For example, "giant Asian mantis" is used for various members of ''Hierodula'', "dead leaf mantis" may refer not only to various species of ''Deroplatys'', but to all brown mantises that use leaf mimicry for camouflage. "flower mantis" refers to numerous mantises, especially those belonging to or similar to those of genus ''Creobroter'', and so on. ---For citation of common nomenclature and additional references, see individua ...
