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] |

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 * ...

Insects Described In 2012
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eggs. Insect ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
