Acontistini is a tribe of neotropical mantids in the superfamily Acanthopoidea, and family Acanthopidae. There are 7 genera and more than 30 described species in Acontistini. In 2016, several genera were moved from Acanthopidae to a newly created family Acontistidae,[1] but this has not been accepted in most recent classifications.[2][3]
