Description
Summary:Mantispidae is a lacewing family with over 400 extant species (Ohl, 2004, 2007; Oswald, 2015). The family is divided into four extant subfamilies Symphrasinae, Drepanicinae, Calomantispinae, Mantispinae and one extinct subfamily Mesomantispinae (Lambkin, 1986a, b; Wedmann & Makarkin, 2007). The living mantispids are distributed cosmopolitan except Antarctica. Fossil mantispids have been recorded since Early Jurassic (Ansorge & Schlüter, 1990; Wedmann & Makarkin, 2007; Khramov, 2013; Jepson et al., 2013, 2018a, b; Shi et al., 2019). The fossils are mainly from the Eurasia, with exception of two Miocene genera from Mexican and Dominican (Engel & Grimaldi, 2007).
