Mantophasmatidae is 'n karnivoriese suborde van insekte wat in 2001 ontdek is en in Afrika voorkom. Die suborde behoort tot die orde Notoptera, maar is aanvanklik as 'n orde in eie reg, naamlik Mantophasmatodea, beskou. Onlangse studies het egter getoon dat dit 'n sustergroep van die Grylloblattidae (voorheen in die orde Grylloblattodea) is. Arillo & Engel het die groepe in 'n enkele orde, naamlik Notoptera saamgevoeg.

Arillo and Engel have combined the Grylloblattodea and Mantophasmatodea into a single order, Notoptera, with the two groups ranked as suborders. Alternatively, Grylloblattodea and Mantophasmatodea are considered orders of a clade Xenonomia.
