Hymenopodidae is a family of the order Mantodea (mantises), which contains four subfamilies. Some of the species in this family mimic flowers and are found camouflaged among them; these are called Flower Mantises. The coloration is aggressive mimicry, luring prey to approach close enough to be seized and eaten.

Subfamilies

The Mantodea Species File[1] lists:

The Epaphroditinae Giglio-Tos, 1915 (from the Caribbean) are now placed in a separate family Epaphroditidae.
