Elongated Praying Mantises
Cliomantis Giglio-Tos, 1913
Type species: Cliomantis cornuta Giglio-Tos, 1913
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 3730
Hinton (1939) described two and redescribed the other two Australian species of Cliomantis, but did not provide a generic diagnosis. It appears the genus is characterised by prominent, pointed juxtaocular processes on the head.
Currently known from four described species in Australia, generally based on males, with only the female of C. dispar known from a female (Tindale 1923).
