“…the sisters to Artimantodea or nested within Artimantodea. Morphological features and cladistic analysis [ 2 , 3 , 45 ] are prone to place this superfamily outside the Artimantodea, while molecular or integrated phylogenies with denser species sampling and evolutionary modeling give this group a position nested within Artimantodea [ 1 , 9 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 46 , 47 ]. Our results are consistent with the majority of molecular results mentioned above, placing this superfamily within the Artimantodea.…”

“…Secondly, there is a lack of research that integrates morphological data from fossil species and extant species using rigorous cladistic analyses, primarily due to the extensive morphological convergence within Mantodea, which poses challenges in character selection. Nevertheless, the study by Demers-Potvin et al [ 45 ] presents an auspicious starting point for the addressed issue. Additionally, comparative research on divergence time estimation in Mantodea, utilizing different fossil selection schemes and prior settings, is still lacking.…”

The recently reorganized classification of Mantodea has made significant progress in resolving past homoplasy problems, although some relationships among higher taxa remain uncertain. In the present study, we utilized newly sequenced mitogenomes and nuclear gene sequences of 23 mantid species, along with published data of 53 mantises, to perform familial-sampling structural comparisons of mantodean mitogenomes and phylogenomic studies. Our rstructural analysis revealed generally conserved mitogenome organizations, with a few cases of tRNA gene rearrangements, including the detection of trnL2 duplication for the first time. In our phylogenetic analysis, we found a high degree of compositional heterogeneity and lineage-specific evolutionary rates among mantodean mitogenomes, which frequently corresponded to several unexpected groupings in the topologies under site-homogeneous models. In contrast, the topologies obtained using the site-heterogeneous mixture model fit the currently accepted phylogeny of Mantodea better. Topology tests and four-cluster likelihood mapping analyses further determined the preferred topologies. Our phylogenetic results confirm the monophyly of superfamilial groups Schizomantodea, Amerimantodea, Heteromantodea, Promantidea, and Mantidea and recover the early-branching relationships as (Mantoidoidea + (Amerimantodea + (Metallyticoidea + Cernomantodea))). Additionally, the results suggest that the long-unresolved phylogenetic position of Majangidae should be placed within Mantidea, close to Mantoidea, rather than within Epaphroditoidea. Our findings contribute to understanding the compositional and structural diversity in mantodean mitogenomes, underscore the importance of evolutionary model selection in phylogenomic studies, and provide new insights into the high-level phylogeny of Mantodea.
