Histiopteris is a genus of ferns in the family Dennstaedtiaceae described as a genus in 1875.[5]

Histiopteris contains only one accepted species, Histiopteris incisa, although several other names are listed as "unresolved."[3] Batwing fern is a common name for H. incisa.[6] Histiopteris incisa is widespread across tropical and subtropical Asia, Australia, Africa, Latin America, and various oceanic islands.[7][8][9][10][11]
