Stick mantis

• Brunneria (including Brunner's stick mantis, the Brazilian stick mantis and the small-winged stick mantis)
• Hoplocorypha (the African stick mantises)
• Paratoxodera (including the Borneo stick mantis and the giant Malaysian stick mantis)
• Popa (African twig mantis)

In cases, some but not all members of a genera are called by a variation of one of these names. For example:

• Archimantis latistyla (Australian stick mantis)
• Pseudovates peruviana (Peruvian stick mantis)

Stick mantises should not be confused with stick insects (Phasmatodea) although the latter were long-considered close relatives of all mantises according to classification which is now often considered paraphyletic and outdated. Likewise, both mantises and stick insects are separate from the recently identified Mantophasmatodea.
