Leptomantellidae
The ''Leptomantellidae'' are a new (2019), small family of praying mantids, based on the type genus ''Leptomantella''. As part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, genera have been moved here from the Caliridinae in the now obsolete family Tarachodidae. The new placement is in superfamily Nanomantoidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea. Species in this family have been recorded from Asia, including India and Indochina.

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] |
Tarachodidae
Tarachodidae is a now obsolete family in the order Mantodea, of genera found in Africa and Asia. Former subfamilies The family previously consisted of two subfamilies of "bark mantises": Caliridinae These genera have now been moved to the new families: *Haaniidae: ''Caliris'' *Leptomantellidae: ''Leptomantella'' Tarachodinae This subfamily has now been moved to the Eremiaphilidae. These genera are now placed in the subfamily Iridinae: *''Dysaules'' *''Iris'' See also *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.

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 ...

Type Genus
In biological taxonomy, the type genus is the genus which defines a biological family and the root of the family name. Zoological nomenclature According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, "The name-bearing type of a nominal family-group taxon is a nominal genus called the 'type genus'; the family-group name is based upon that of the type genus." Any family-group name must have a type genus (and any genus-group name must have a type species, but any species-group name may, but need not, have one or more type specimens). The type genus for a family-group name is also the genus that provided the stem to which was added the ending -idae (for families). :Example: The family name Formicidae has as its type genus the genus ''Formica'' Linnaeus, 1758. Botanical nomenclature In botanical nomenclature, the phrase "type genus" is used, unofficially, as a term of convenience. In the '' ICN'' this phrase has no status. The code uses type specimens for ranks up to fam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caliridinae
The ''Haaniidae'' are a new (2019) family of praying mantids, based on the type genus ''Haania''. The first use of "Haaniidae" was by Giglio-Tos and it was revived as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy; genera in the subfamily Haaniinae havie been moved here from the family Thespidae. The new placement is in superfamily Haanioidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea. Genera in this family have been recorded from: India, Indochina and Malesia through to New Guinea. Subfamilies, tribes and genera The ''Mantodea Species File'' lists two subfamilies: Caliridinae * ''Caliris'' Giglio-Tos, 1915 * '' Gildella'' Giglio-Tos, 1915 Haaniinae ;tribe Arriini * '' Arria '' Stal, 1877 * '' Sinomiopteryx'' Tinkham, 1937 ;tribe Haaniini * ''Astape'' Stal, 1877 * ''Haania ''Haania'' is the type genus of Asian praying mantids in the new (2019) family Haaniidae. They are recorded from: southern China (Hainan), Indo-China and the Philippines. Species The '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Indochina
Mainland Southeast Asia, also known as the Indochinese Peninsula or Indochina, is the continental portion of Southeast Asia. It lies east of the Indian subcontinent and south of Mainland China and is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. It includes the countries of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, with peninsular Malaysia sometimes also being included. The term Indochina (originally Indo-China) was coined in the early nineteenth century, emphasizing the historical cultural influence of Indian and Chinese civilizations on the area. The term was later adopted as the name of the colony of French Indochina (today's Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam). Today, the term, Mainland Southeast Asia, in contrast to Maritime Southeast Asia, is more commonly referenced. Terminology The origins of the name Indo-China are usually attributed jointly to the Danish-French geographer Conrad Malte-Brun, who referred to the area as in 1804, and the ...
