Mr. Goldfish
http://mantodea.speciesfile.org/Common/basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=1183442 There are two other genera in the subfamily Stagmomantinae. http://www.flickr.com/photos/96984817@N03/9294924341/ http://www.animalsandearth.com/en/photo/view/id/57758-mantid-tauromantis-championi-mating-male-positions-himself-as-far-from-females-front-legs-as-possible-to-increase-chances-of-survival#/1/tag/Tauromantis Championi/viewed/ It looks similar to the pictures of Phasmomantis championi to me but maybe others are similar too in looks (cant find pictures).
Mr. Goldfish
Is it possible this is another genus similar to the Stagmomantis?
