| Family: | Mantidae |
| Subfamily: | Hierodulinae Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893 |
The Hierodulinae are a subfamily of praying mantids, originally used by Brunner von Wattenwyl.[1] It was restored as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy,[2] 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.[3]
Tribes and genera[edit]
This subfamily now contains many genera that were previously placed elsewhere including the Mantinae. The Mantodea Species File lists two tribes here:[3]
