Dipteromantispidae is an extinct family of neuropterans known from the Cretaceous period. Unlike other neuropterans, the family possesses only a single set of fully developed forewings, with the hindwings reduced to haltere-like structures. They are generally small in size (forewing length 2.6-7.9 mm) and possess raptorial forelegs. They are considered to belong to Mantispoidea, with an uncertain position within the clade.[1] Some authors have suggested that they represent a subgroup of Mantispidae, and should instead be referred to as the subfamily Dipteromantispinae within that family.[2]
