Chroicopterinae
The Chroicopteridae are a Family (biology), family of Mantodea, praying mantids, based on the type genus ''Chroicoptera''. The name is derived from first use, for subfamily Chroicopterinae, by Giglio-Tos and it has been revived as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy. Some genera have also been moved here from the Rivetininae, tribe Rivetinini, with others placed elsewhere including the subfamily Miomantinae. The new placement is as a sole family in the superfamily Chroicopteroidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea. Genera in this family have been recorded from Africa and islands in the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Subfamilies, tribes and genera The ''Mantodea Species File'' lists two subfamilies: Chroicopterinae ;tribe Bolbellini * ''Bolbella'' Giglio-Tos, 1915 * ''Dystactula'' Giglio-Tos, 1927 ;tribe Chroicopterini * subtribe Amphecostephanina ** ''Amphecostephanus'' Rehn, 1912 * subtribe Bisanthina ** ''Bisanthe (mantis), Bisanthe '' Stal, 1876 ...
