Hi Kris, thanks for the update. The reference used is Bugguide.net which does have a page. https://bugguide.net/node/view/10098.

A beautiful photo, and a beautiful egg case....

Tenodera sinensis, ootheca

I agree with Christine. The shape is unique to the Chinese Mantis.

Nice! It's a praying mantis ootheca (egg sac).
