Tribes and Genera
The Mantodea Species File[2] lists two tribes:
- tribe Epsomantini (monotypic)
- Epsomantis Giglio-Tos, 1915 (monotypic)
- tribe Tropidomantini
- Eomantis Giglio-Tos, 1915
- Oligocanthopus Beier, 1935 - monotypic O. ornata
- Pliacanthopus Giglio-Tos, 1927
- Sinomantis Beier, 1933 - monotypic S. denticulata
- Tropidomantis Stal, 1877
NB: Several genera, previously placed here, have now been moved to the Fulciniinae, Hapalomantinae and Nanomantinae. Xanthomantis Giglio-Tos, 1915 is a synonym of Pliacanthopus (above).
