New very small mantis! Id possible?

[Timmy]

Hello, i found a new very small mantis and i don't know what species. I think it is a Gonodactylellus.
The animal is from Bali and 11 mm big.

Telson

Perhaps a Gonodactylaceus ternatensis, maybe a recently settled animal?

Great pictures by the way, maybe another shot of the meral spots will help Dr.Cadwell ID it.

doesnt even look like it has meral spots yet...i swear i can see right theough the raptorial appendage...maby its just my computer monitor

Dang, I dont even know where to begin...I dont see enough info on Dr. Roys list. I was trying to go by the telson, but not many of the profiles talk about the "teeth" on the telson or they dont have pictures of it. I was thinking about looking for color matches, but as Dr. Roy has said, you cant get a good ID by color alone. There is probably enough info in the pictures to ID IT, BUT i just dont know what to look for or what the body parts are called.

Is there any color to the meral spots yet?

I have some more pictures, but none where you can see the meral spots good. It looks like that this animal has white meral spots with a orange ring around, but i know no mantis that has this color.
Maybe it is a G. viridis.

the pleopods look like they have a blue hue to them...any species on the list from indonesia that has blue pleopods?

What about the uropod, looks like 8-10 spikes.

I cant tell...Im going by the telson and the pic of all of em lined up on Dr. Roy's list. I cant tell how many points are on the telson...looks like they have 4 in Dr. Roys picture and yours looks like it has 6...though the outer most pair are very small and may not show up on Dr. Roys pic
