I got a new mantis, I've been debating myself for hours on the ID.

Okay, so i'm like 90% sure its a G. Chiragra. the other 10% of my mind keeps arguing and saying it isn't.

I'm also 95% sure it isn't a G. Smithii because it has no red at the base of the uropods and the meral spot is white with a black outline.

Can't be N. Wennerae or N. Bredini because it is over 80mm in size.

Also I'm not familiar with the shape of neogonodactylus dactyl above the round part that makes contact when they strike, but it looks like it is curved like a gonodactlyid and has no teeth on the inside of it.

Unfortunately I have no idea where it came from.

I didn't want to re-size the images so I uploaded them to Imgur.
