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]
