Received a short note from Julio regarding both type of shield mantis after dissecting the male genital. According to him, they are similar species.

A pic of Julio is attached in the link below

Can't confirm or reject this as I didn't receive any new males yet.

Martin, the best Stagmomantis colection in the US is housed by the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, where James Rehn and Morgan Hebard worked on mantid taxonomy during the first half of 20th century. If I live in Philly I would certainly take my speciment and compare with the ones from the collection, and also pay you a visit too

You can stop on by any time Yen. Do they have a display of mantids there? I must admit I haven't been there since high school.
