Tribe Platycranini Brunner View in CoL v. Wattenwyl, 1893

Genus Platycrana Gray, 1835 View in CoL

Type-species: Mantis viridana Olivier, 1792: 636 , by subsequent designation of Kirby, 1904: 385.

Comments: The very numerous citations of this monotypical genus may be looked up in the Phasmida Species File Online (http:// Phasmida .SpeciesFile.org). The misspelling “ Platycrania ” introduced by Burmeister (1838: 581) was repeated by subsequent authors including Stål (1875), Westwood (1859) and Redtenbacher (1908). Hennemann (2020) provided clarification of the systematic position of Platycrana and transferred all other genera formerly attributed to Platycraninae : Platycranini to the newly described subfamily Megacraniinae .
