Type species. Mantis oligoneura De Haan, 1842

Diagnosis. This genus is very similar to the genus Citharomantis Rehn, 1909 . Both genera have the following characteristics in common: 1) a tubercle on the upper edge of lower frons and on the vertex, 2) lateral edges of pronotum denticulated, 3) mid and hind femora with a pre-apical lobe, 4) apex of hind wings truncated. The genus Acromantis mainly differs from all other genera in the tribe Acromantini by the absence of black band on the apex of fore coxa ventrally.
