Mantises
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 ...

Gonypetidae
The ''Gonypetidae'' are a new (2019) family of praying mantids, based on the type genus '' Gonypeta''. The name was created by Westwood and it has been revived as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy; the subfamily Iridopteryginae having been moved here from the obsolete family Iridopterygidae. The Gonypetinae include Asian genera transferred from the obsolete taxa Amelinae and Liturgusidae. The new placement is in superfamily Gonypetoidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea. Genera in this family have been recorded from: NE Africa, the Middle East, India, Indochina, Malesia through to New Guinea. Subfamilies, tribes and genera The ''Mantodea Species File'' lists two subfamilies: Gonypetinae * tribe Armenini ** ''Armene'' Stal, 1877 * tribe Gonypetini ** subtribe Compsomantina *** '' Compsomantis'' Saussure, 1872 ** subtribe Gonypetina *** '' Bimantis'' Giglio-Tos, 1915 *** '' Dimantis'' Giglio-Tos, 1915 *** '' Elaea'' Stal, 1877 *** '' Elman ...
