yeah, it does look like a Tropidomantis, managed to catch a few adult males when i was back in Malaysia

 
Hi.

It can be at least said that's from the tribe Tropidomantini. There are several genera which resemble each other and even a lot of species of Tropidomantis itself. There is absolutely no possibility of identification from a photo, particularly as it's still a larva.

Thanks all for the replies. Recently someone from that local forum ID the species as the Leptomantis albella.

 
Hi.

The correct genus name is Leptomantella. Leptomantis is the old terminus.

Regards,

Christian

 
Hi.

I'm still not sure about this one. The genus description for Leptomantella does not agree with those specimens very properly.
