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.
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
