Mantodea Families
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 ...

Liturgusa
''Liturgusa'' is the type genus of praying mantises of the family Liturgusidae. The genus consists of more than twenty species with a Neotropical distribution. The behaviour of ''Liturgusa'' species is remarkable in that, in contrast to other mantises, they do not ambush their prey, but use an active hunting method at high walking speed. Species The ''Mantodea Species File'' lists: *'' Liturgusa actuosa'' Rehn, 1951 *'' Liturgusa algorei'' Svenson, 2014 *'' Liturgusa bororum'' Svenson, 2014 *'' Liturgusa cameroni'' Svenson, 2014 *'' Liturgusa cayennensis'' Saussure, 1869 - type species *'' Liturgusa charpentieri'' Giglio-Tos, 1927 *'' Liturgusa cura'' Svenson, 2014 *'' Liturgusa cursor'' Rehn, 1951 *'' Liturgusa dominica'' Svenson, 2014 *'' Liturgusa fossetti'' Svenson, 2014 *'' Liturgusa guyanensis'' La Greca, 1939 *'' Liturgusa kirtlandi'' Svenson, 2014 *'' Liturgusa krattorum'' Svenson, 2014 *'' Liturgusa lichenalis'' Gerstaecker, 1889 *'' Liturgusa manausensis'' Svenson ...

Dactylopterygidae
Dactylopterygidae is a family of praying mantises, based on the type genus '' Dactylopteryx''. The first use of "Dactylopterygidae" was by Giglio-Tos and it has recently (2019) been revived as part of a major revision of mantis taxonomy; three genera have been separated from others in the subfamily Liturgusinae (mostly from Asia) and moved here from the family Liturgusidae. The new placement is in the superfamily Mantoidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea 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 ha .... Species in this family have been recorded from Tropical Africa.

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 ...

Macquarie University
Macquarie University ( ) is a public research university based in Sydney, Australia, in the suburb of Macquarie Park. Founded in 1964 by the New South Wales Government, it was the third university to be established in the metropolitan area of Sydney. Established as a verdant university, Macquarie has five faculties, as well as the Macquarie University Hospital and the Macquarie Graduate School of Management, which are located on the university's main campus in suburban Sydney. The university is the first in Australia to fully align its degree system with the Bologna Accord. History 20th century The idea of founding a third university in Sydney was flagged in the early 1960s when the New South Wales Government formed a committee of enquiry into higher education to deal with a perceived emergency in university enrollments in New South Wales. During this enquiry, the Senate of the University of Sydney put in a submission which highlighted 'the immediate need to establish a ...
