Genus Xaviera Lambkin

Xaviera Lambkin, 1986b . Type species: Mаntispа mаncа Gerstaecker, 1885, by original designation.

Distribution: Oriental and Australasia: Indonesia to Australia.

Diagnosis (modified from Lambkin 1986b): Xaviera can be distinguished from other Oriental and Palearctic genera by the combination of a glabrous pronotum (sometimes bearing a few fine setae on the dorsum) and a hindwing with a forked A1 that is fused for a significant distance with CuA distal to the fork. The pterostigma is rounded and distally truncate.
