mantis ootheca
I wonder if this might be Pseudovates arizonae, but the guide has no images of oothecae from that species. Hopefully somebody more knowledgeable about these will respond.

I agree
The color reminds me of pseudovates arizonae

Unicorn
I'd be inclined to agree with you, Chris. This isn't a Stagmomantis ootheca, but looks more like one of the unicorn mantids. I'm not sufficiently learned in them to make a proper ID.
