Miomantinae is the larger subfamily of insects in the new (2019) family Miomantidae of order Mantodea. As part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy;[1] an additional subfamily Solygiinae contains the sole genus Solygia and the tribe Rivetinini has essentially been elevated to family Rivetinidae. A number of genera have also been transferred from here to the Hierodulinae.
The species are mostly found in western and central Africa[2] and similar in characteristics and behaviour to other mantids.
