Genus of Brazilian mantid? '-'

[CesarF]

Someone knows at least the genus of this mantid found in Brazil?

Thank you!

i would guess Melliera sp, most likely Melliera major. Could also be coptopteryx or metriomantis. There are so many different species in Brazil that it's hard to tell

To say the truth, who found it was a friend of mine. He found it, next him, crossing the street xD

At least the family? Someone?

Thank you!

Looks like a nymph of Orthoderella sp. Maybe Orthoderella ornata.

After looking at the species for a while, I think Yen's right. Orthoderella looks more like it than Melliera
