Iridopterygidae was a family of praying mantids in the order Mantodea whose members, having formerly been moved here as a subfamily within Mantidae,[1] have now been transferred elsewhere as part of the recent (2019) major revision of mantid taxonomy.[2]
Former subfamilies
- Hapalomantinae: moved to new family Nanomantidae
- Iridopteryginae: now consists of two tribes in the Gonypetidae[3]
- Nanomantinae: now in new family Nanomantidae contained:
- Tribe Fulcinini
- Tribe Nanomantini
- Nilomantinae: now a tribe of Hapalomantinae
- Tropidomantinae: previously containing a single tribe, the Tropidomantini[4]
- genera previously placed incertae sedis here are now the Tropidomantinae.
