Cool find! I think this may be a different species though. Adult female Stagmomantis species have wings that are shorter, the wings do not go to the end of the abdomen. I think this is more likely a mantis from genus Tenodera. Do you have any views of the face or any other angles?

Here are some links for comparison:

This would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
