Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893

The Hierodulinae are a subfamily of praying mantids, established by Brunner von Wattenwyl,[1] and restored as part of a major taxonomic revision of mantid.[2] The subfamily now contains genera previously placed elsewhere in the family Mantidae.[examples needed]

The new placement means that this taxon is part of the superfamily Mantoidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea. Species have been recorded from: Africa, Asia and Australia.[3]
