In a broad sense, it is used as a general term for birds in the Phasianidae family, which are larger than quails but smaller than pheasants. In a narrow sense, it refers to the 41 species in the genus Francolinus , which belongs to the Phasianidae family. In the past, the common mantis shrimp F. pintadenus and the Dorian partridge Perdix dauuricae were also called mantis shrimp. In the broad sense, mantis shrimps can be broadly divided into the American quails found in North America (including northern South America) and the mantis shrimps (including the genus Francolin) found in Eurasia and Africa.
