Hi.

This is a member of the family Thespidae, somewhat related to Thesprotia graminis. However, it is not Thesprotia, but rather a Musonia or Pseudomusonia species, maybe Thespis itself. There is absolutely no chance for ID thespids from photos.

Regards,

Christian

-Yes it is, the mantids pictured on the link you showed looks very similar to the mantis on the picture for ID.

-Thank you very much for your help for ID these, best regards.

 
Hi.

The pronotum of Oligonicella mexicana is much shorter then that of the figured species. I do not think it's the same species, but it may belong to the same genus.

Regards,

Christian
