Probably some Tenodera in another species in your area and I would not see a difference....

ah ok. thanks for your help. i'll switch it over.
Mr. Goldfish
I have seen many Statilia and Tenodera. This does not look like a Statilia but looks like a Tenodera. Of Statilia maculata they have a nice marking in between their forearms which I do not think any Tenodera have. I guess all Statilia have something similar but not sure. Euchomenella macrops has similar markings. http://www.mantodeenforum.de/index.php?page=Thread&postID=5185&highlight=euchomenella#post5185

could be. i don't know enough to differentiate between the two. is it to do with the marks on the inner side of the forearms?
