Chroicopterinae
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. The new placement is as a sole family in the superfamily Chroicopteroidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea. Genera in this family have been recorded from Africa and islands in the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Subfamilies, tribes and genera The ''Mantodea Species File'' lists two subfamilies: Chroicopterinae ;tribe Bolbellini * '' Bolbella'' Giglio-Tos, 1915 * '' Dystactula'' Giglio-Tos, 1927 ;tribe Chroicopterini * subtribe Amphecostephanina ** '' Amphecostephanus'' Rehn, 1912 * subtribe Bisanthina ** '' Bisanthe '' Stal, 1876 * subtribe Chroicopterina ** '' ...

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...
