Unknown Egg case - Stagmomantis carolina

Unknown Egg case - Stagmomantis carolina
Charleston County, South Carolina, USA
February 11, 2017
Size: ~20mm
Found attached to top 1/3 of a Black Needle Rush stem in the saltmarsh. Appears to have hatched its contents or been predated. The case is approximately 20mm long. I have no idea as to the insect order this may belong to, some help in this direction would be much appreciated.

Unknown egg case.
Thanks for the help. Mantids aren't my interest and I see them so infrequently.
