Rivetinidae
The Rivetinidae are a family of praying mantids, based on the type genus '' Rivetina''. As part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, this family contains many genera moved from Miomantinae: tribe Rivetinini; some genera previously placed there have now been moved to the new families Deroplatyidae and Chroicopteridae. The new placement of this taxon is in the superfamily Eremiaphiloidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea. Distribution Genera in this family have been recorded from: southern Europe, Africa and Asia. The species of this family present in Italy Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a country in Southern Europe, Southern and Western Europe, Western Europe. It consists of Italian Peninsula, a peninsula that extends into the Mediterranean Sea, with the Alps on its northern land b ... are'' Geomantis larvoides'' and'' Rivetina baetica''.

Rivetina Baetica
''Rivetina baetica'', Common name, commonly known as the Baetic ground mantis, is a species of mantidae, praying mantis in the family Rivetinidae. Description The Baetic ground mantis is a Camouflage, camouflaged, slightly ruddy, greyish-brown species, with large, prominent eyes. It antennae, which are shorter than its body, are yellowish. Males' antennae are far thicker than females'. Distribution The Baetic ground mantis is found around the Mediterranean basin, in North Africa and Southern Europe, and in parts eastwards: in Iran, southern Russia, and Central Asia. Habitat They are found in steppe areas dominated by Artemisia (plant), ''Artemesia'', in rocky places, and in sparse drought-resistant shrublands, or shibliak. Taxonomy The species has a complicated taxonomic history. ''Rivetina baetica'' was first classified as ''Mantis bætica'' when a French entomologist, Jules Pierre Rambur, described it from Andalusia near Málaga in 1839. Next, the species was moved ...

Schizomantodea
Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains 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 forelegs such as mantisflies ( Mantispidae).

Chroicopteridae
The Chroicopteridae are a family of 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 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 '' Stal, 1876 * subtribe Chroicopterina ** '' Betamantis'' Giglio ...

Type Genus
In biological taxonomy, the type genus (''genus typica'') is the genus which defines a biological family and the root of the family name. Zoological nomenclature According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, "The name-bearing type of a nominal family-group taxon is a nominal genus called the 'type genus'; the family-group name is based upon that of the type genus." Any family-group name must have a type genus (and any genus-group name must have a type species, but any species-group name may, but need not, have one or more type specimens). The type genus for a family-group name is also the genus that provided the stem to which was added the ending -idae (for families). :Example: The family name Formicidae has as its type genus the genus ''Formica'' Linnaeus, 1758. Botanical nomenclature In botanical nomenclature, the phrase "type genus" is used, unofficially, as a term of convenience. In the '' ICN'' this phrase has no status. The code uses type specimens ...
