Are there any cave dwelling mantids that like dark humid cool conditions?

I have never heard of a cave dwelling mantis, only seen cave dwelling spider.

There are a few species of ground based mantids. Here are a few species.

Litaneutria sp.

Yersiniops sp.

Eremiaphila sp.

Oligonocella sp.

Since mantids rely on sight to catch thier food a cave dweller wouldn't work so well.
