Pi-hydrae-3 Fauna - the Mantibnas

These arthropods are very physically similar to mantises and stick insects. Are Arthropods originating from the planet Pi-hydrae-3! The Xenonsectas of Pi-hydrae (name designating their equivalent of Insects) differ physically from our insects, by the number of motor legs, the number of eyes and the particular origin of their membranous wings. The Mantibna group is characterized by their maxillary palps, evolved into predatory limbs, like arachnids.
In Phylogeny, their name Tyrannopterona comes from “tyranno-”, tyrant and “-pterona”, wings with an ending allowing them to be differentiated from our Earth Insect. This title is given to them to associate them thematically with the T.rexes of the insect world, the Praying Mantises!
A concept to remember to differentiate them from Mantids, among Mantibnas, the male is not devoured by the female during or after mating! There have even been cases of harems formed by a dominant female with several males around her.

Angulotibiidae: species imitating a branch or a twig; habitat, tropical forests; mainly hunts small prey.
In indigenous Giñps, the Angulotibiidae are called: WITAABNAWIB (branch + mantibna).
Diuvanidae 1: slender species that lives and hunts near bodies of water; habitat, humid environments of subtropical regions; hunts water xenonsectas or small fish.
In indigenous Giñps, this species is called: KEMDUUWA (water + « mini mantibna »).
Diuvanidae 2: species adapted to running; habitat, rocky desert; hunts any type of prey within its reach.
In indigenous Giñps, this species is called: KUJAGNLEDUUWA (desert + « mini mantibna »).
Mibunesidae: species of thorny bushes; habitat, xeric vegetation; opportunistic, sightings have already seen it hunting small wyverns.
In indigenous Giñps, this species is called: WINEVAMIBUNEZ (« a species of bush » + “southern mantibna”).
Longinychidae: species imitating a leafy branch or a compound leaf; habitat, warm temperate forests; hunts exclusively small prey.
In indigenous Giñps, the Longinychidae are called: NUANICHABNAWIBA (grass + mantibna).
Mantibnaidae: species imitating a large leaf; habitat, tropical forests; predator of many canopy xenonsectas.
In indigenous Giñps, this species is called: GAJAABNAWIBA (branch + mantibna).
Anthobnaidae: species imitating an “orchid” type flower; habitat, tropical forests; exclusively hunts symbiotic xenonsectas from the flowers they imitate.
In indigenous Giñps, this species is called: GAMULIMUAGUUWA (blood + flower + « little mantibna »).
