Praying Mantids
Mantidae is one of the largest families in the order of praying mantises, based on the type species ''Mantis religiosa''; however, most genera are tropical or subtropical. Historically, this was the only family in the order, and many references still use the term "mantid" to refer to any mantis. Technically, however, "mantid" refers only to members of the family Mantidae, and not the 14 remaining families of mantises. Some of the most recent classifications have promoted a number of the mantid subfamilies to the rank of family, e.g. Iridopterygidae, Sibyllidae, Tarachodidae, Thespidae, and Toxoderidae, while other classifications have reduced the number of subfamilies without elevating to higher rank. Subfamilies and genera Following the major revision of the Mantodea in 2019, the ''Mantodea Species File'' includes ten subfamilies: Choeradodinae The Americas, Asia * '' Asiadodis'' Roy, 2004 * ''Choeradodis'' Serville, 1831 * †'' Prochaeradodis'' Piton, 1940 Deroma ...

Ephierodula
The ''Hierodulinae'' are a subfamily of praying mantids, originally used by Brunner von Wattenwyl. It was restored as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, and now contains genera previously placed elsewhere in the family Mantidae. The new placement means that this taxon is part of the superfamily Mantoidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea. Species have been recorded from: Africa, Asia and Australia. Tribes and genera This subfamily now contains many genera that were previously placed elsewhere including the Mantinae. The ''Mantodea Species File'' lists two tribes here: Archimantini * subtribe Archimantina ** ''Archimantis'' Saussure, 1869 ** '' Austromantis'' Sjostedt, 1918 ** '' Austrovates'' Sjostedt, 1918 ** '' Coenomantis'' Giglio-Tos, 1917 ** '' Corthylomantis'' Milledge, 1997 ** '' Nullabora'' Tindale, 1923 * subtribe Pseudomantina ** '' Pseudomantis'' Saussure, 1869 * subtribe Trachymantina ** '' Sphodropoda'' Stal, 1871 ** '' Trachym ...
