Tribes and Genera

The Mantodea Species File[2] lists two tribes:

  • tribe Epsomantini (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).
