The most common you can find in the hobby are:
Tenodera sinensis
Mantis religiosa
Iris oratoria
Brunneria borealis
Stagmomantis limbata
Stagmomantis carolina
Phyllovates chlorophaea
Brunneria is becoming more common thanks to Rick and others in NC.
Others you may see available:
Gonatista grisea
Pseudovates arizonae
Tenodera sinensis
Mantis religiosa
Iris oratoria
Brunneria borealis
Stagmomantis limbata
Stagmomantis carolina

Didn't know that! I have one but it is not mature yet so I have no idea what the gender is. Or at least I don' t think it is an adult. It is only a couple inches or so long. I like them. It was a big hit at bugfest as I had it in with dry grasses. Very few people could find it. I will probably want a mate for it at some point.

You can add three more:
Litaneutria minor -- lesser ground mantis
Stagmomantis californica -- California mantis
Pseudovates arizonae -- Arizona unicorn mantis
As Rick says, the mantisflies don't belong here.
The Mediterranean mantis, Iris oratorio, is an introduced species. If you wish to include it, you can add, as Massaman suggests:
Mantis religiosa -- European mantis
Tenodera sinensis -- Chinese mantis
Edit: I just looked at Orin's book and came up with:
Tenodera angustipenniss -- narrow-winged mantis
Yersiniops sophronicum -- Yersin's ground mantis
Oligonicella scudderi -- Scudder's mantis
Litaneutria minor -- lesser ground mantis
Stagmomantis californica -- California mantis
Pseudovates arizonae -- Arizona unicorn mantis

They are neither, but belong to a class of their own.Mantisflys are not mantids. I believe they are flies.

Yeah, when I was a kid, I was in a class of my own. I got to wear a helmet like a race car driver. Cool!They are neither, but belong to a class of their own.
Those mantisflies, though are in the family Mantispidae and the order Neuroptera, aren't they? Unless they've changed it again.
Edit: Oops, I remembered Orin's mantids and forgot Peter's Stagmomantis gracileps -- Arizona tan mantis
and another Stagmomantis from that nice FL University site*, Stagmomantis floridensis -- Greater Florida mantis (though I have no idea what the "lesser" one is)

No, I think that that is a very good point. I suggested some texts and Google for Boxer's last question, and I've added about eight U.S. mantids to the list!
Boxer: Why are we all doing the work for you? At least print us a list of all the mantids we have listed so far, minus the mantis flies!
Actually, though, I don't think that there is a list of all the U.S. mantids on Google. No one seems to agree on the exact number, but I'm pretty sure that we are a few short.

Of course we're short mostly because some haven't even been in the hobby or the stock went extinct years ago and no one has collected any more so we haven't really heard of them in a long time (i.e. Yersiniops sophronica)No, I think that that is a very good point.
