Hierodulinae
The ''Hierodulinae'' are a subfamily of praying mantids, originally used by Brunner von Wattenwyl. It was restored as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, 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. Tribes and genera This subfamily now contains many genera that were previously placed elsewhere including the Mantinae. The ''Mantodea Species File'' lists two tribes here: Archimantini * subtribe Archimantina ** ''Archimantis'' Saussure, 1869 ** '' Austromantis'' Sjostedt, 1918 ** '' Austrovates'' Sjostedt, 1918 ** '' Coenomantis'' Giglio-Tos, 1917 ** '' Corthylomantis'' Milledge, 1997 ** '' Nullabora'' Tindale, 1923 * subtribe Pseudomantina ** '' Pseudomantis'' Saussure, 1869 * subtribe Trachymantina ** '' Sphodropoda'' Stal, 1871 ** '' Trachy ...

''Titanodula'' is a genus of Mantidae, mantids in the subfamily Hierodulinae. There are currently five species placed in ''Titanodula''. The genus is Endemism, endemic to Asia and is distinguished from the similar genus ''Hierodula'' by the large size and unique male genitalia of its member species.Xavier H.C. Vermeersch. 2020.
