The Rivetinidae are a family of praying mantids, based on the type genus Rivetina. As part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy,[1] this family contains many genera moved from Miomantinae: tribe Rivetinini; some genera previously placed there have now been moved to the new families Deroplatyidae and Chroicopteridae. The new placement of this taxon is in the superfamily Eremiaphiloidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea.

Distribution

Genera in this family have been recorded from: southern Europe, Africa and Asia.[2] The species of this family present in Italy are Geomantis larvoides and Rivetina baetica.[3]
