“…The Acanthopidae are widely distributed from central Mexico south to the Atlantic rainforest of southern Brazil (Lombardo, 2000b; Agudelo et al , ; Lombardo & Ippolito, ; Roy, ; Lombardo et al , ). They are more commonly found in humid, tropical areas, although Acanthops falcata and most members of Decimiana are associated with more seasonal habitats north, and south and east of the Amazon basin, respectively (Lombardo, ; Menezes & Bravo, ; Arteaga et al , ).…”

We perform phylogenetic analyses of the 'polymorphic earless praying mantises', a heterogeneous assemblage comprising c. 55% of mantodean diversity in the Neotropics. Bayesian and maximum-likelihood were implemented on a DNA dataset of 9949 aligned nucleic acid characters comprising ten mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Our analyses largely resolved congruent relationships with high levels of support for higher-level taxonomic groups, but revealed extensive inconsistencies between the resolved topology and morphology-based classification systems. The polymorphic earless praying mantises, now granted superfamily status as the Acanthopoidea stat.n., comprises 8 families, 15 subfamilies and 18 tribes. Our newly revised organization required the following taxonomic changes: (i) Thespidae sensu n., including subfamilies Pseudopogonogastrinae subfam.n., Pseudomiopteryginae sensu n., Bantiinae subfam.n., Miobantiinae sensu n. and Thespinae sensu n. (tribes Musoniellini trib.n. and Thespini sensu n.); (ii) Angelidae stat.n. et sensu n.; (iii) Coptopterygidae stat.n.; (iv) Liturgusidae sensu n.; (v) Photinaidae stat.n., including Macromantinae stat.n., Cardiopterinae stat.n., Photiomantinae subfam.n. and Photinainae sensu n. (tribes Microphotinini trib.n., Orthoderellini stat.n. and Photinaini sensu n.); (vi) Stenophyllidae stat.n.; (vii) Acontistidae stat.n.; and (viii) Acanthopidae sensu n. Our new system also resulted in the reassignment of various genera to new and existing higher-level taxa, the exclusion of old world genera otherwise traditionally classified among the Thespidae, Liturgusidae and Angelidae, the confirmation of Stenophylla Westwood as member of this clade, and the revalidation of Paradiabantia Piza stat.r. We provide diagnoses for all suprageneric taxa using external morphological characters and male genitalia. A key to higher-level groups is provided. We incorporate egg case structural variation as a novel approach for taxon delineation.This published work has been registered in ZooBank, http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid: zoobank.

The history of high-level classification of praying mantids is presented. The various historical stages that helped to construct our current knowledge on Mantodea taxonomy and systematic are highlighted through an extensive literature review, from pre-Linnaean times to the present. A provisional checklist of the names associated to suprageneric ranks (family, subfamily and tribe) is also provided, in addition to some remarks on the future efforts that need to be conducted in Mantodea research.
