Thanks all.

The Chloroharpax Modesta (sorry wrong spelling in previous post) is also called West African Flower Mantis, and yes it belongs to a species of flower mantis under Hymenopodidae family. See http://tolweb.org/tree?group=Hymenopodinae. It is one of the few flower mantis that has round eyes.
