So far all the links you provided looked like the correct ID to me also.

Thanks, Tom. Sometimes, hopefully most of the time ;-)... But, please, always do a double check with the links and re-search. I think I am mostly close, but sometimes I am quite far away ;-)...

Mantidae, Stagmatopterinae, Stagmatoptera sp., probably Stagmatoptera binotata. Need to be verified!
