Epaphroditidae
Epaphroditidae is a family of the Mantodea, containing species found in Africa and the Caribbean. Before 2015, it had been placed as the subfamily Epaphroditinae, in the Hymenopodidae, but is now excluded. Subfamilies and genera The ''Mantodea Species File'' lists two subfamilies containing the genera: Epaphroditinae ;tribe Callimantini * '' Callimantis'' Stal, 1877 - monotypic (''C. antillarum'' Saussure, 1859) ;tribe Epaphroditini * '' Epaphrodita'' Serville, 1831 Gonatistinae * '' Gonatista'' Saussure, 1869 * '' Gonatistella'' Giglio-Tos, 1915 - monotypic (''G. nigropicta'' Westwood, 1889) Now moved * '' Brancsikia'' Saussure & Zehntner, 1895 is in the new (2019) family Family (from ) is a Social group, group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or Affinity (law), affinity (by marriage or other relationship).

Callimantis
''Callimantis'' is a genus of mantis of the family Epaphroditidae consisting of only one species, ''Callimantis antillarum''. Species ''Callimantis antillarum'' is a praying mantis species that comes from a very ancient lineage. When ''Gondwanaland Gondwana ( ; ) was a large landmass, sometimes referred to as a supercontinent. The remnants of Gondwana make up around two-thirds of today's continental area, including South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Zealandia, Arabia, and the ...'' broke up around 107 MYA, the phylogenetic group split into three Antillean endemic groups known as ''Callimantis'', '' Epaphrodita'', and '' Gonatistacame''. These are referred to as Neotropical or Old World lineages. ''Callimantis'' do not have the special traits that place them into the '' Stagmomantinae'' subfamily other than a plain green appearance.

Gonatista
''Gonatista'' is a genus of praying mantises in the family Epaphroditidae. The following species are recognised in the genus ''Gonatista'': *'' Gonatista grisea'' *'' Gonatista jaiba'' *'' Gonatista major'' *'' Gonatista phryganoides'' *'' Gonatista reticulata'' According to a 2004 paper by entomologists from the University of Catania and the National Museum of Natural History this genus: ...is widely distributed in North America and the Caribbean area. There are (five) homogeneous species...whose specific differences such as chromatic models and body size, as shown in literature (Caudell 1912), do not help us in their identification.

Mantodea
Mantises are an Order (biology), order (Mantodea) of insects that contains List of mantis genera and species, over 2,400 species in about 460 genera in 33 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all mantodeans have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, resembling a praying posture, has led to the common name praying mantis. The closest relatives of mantises are termites and cockroaches (Blattodea), which are all within the superorder Dictyoptera. Mantises are sometimes confused with stick insects (Phasmatodea), other elongated insects such as grasshoppers (Orthoptera), or other more distantly related insects with raptorial ...

Hymenopodidae
Hymenopodidae is a Family (biology), family of the Order (biology), order Mantodea (mantises), which contains six Subfamily (biology), subfamilies. Some of the species in this Family (biology), family mimic flowers and are found camouflaged among them; these are called flower mantises. Their coloration is aggressive mimicry, luring prey to approach close enough to be seized and eaten.

Genera
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus '' Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should clearly demonstrate both monophyly and validity as a separate lineag ...

Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...
