In Thailand, 13 families, 56 genera and 82 species have been reported. The objectives of this study are providing a checklist of Mantodea, identification key to genera of each family and reviewing family Nanomantidae in Thailand. In this present work, specimens were collected from several localities throughout Thailand, and some of them were loaned from the museums. According to the results, 118 species belong to 67 genera and 13 families were reported. Among them,11 genera and 36 species were reported as new record to Thailand. In the result of reviewing the family Nanomantidae, there were seven species belong to six genera including three new recorded genera and four new recorded species.

The results of this investigation revealed that Miromantis yunnanensis was more conspecific with genus Oligocanthopus.
