Arizona Tan Mantis (Stagmomantis gracilipes) - Stagmomantis gracilipes - female

Arizona Tan Mantis (Stagmomantis gracilipes) - Stagmomantis gracilipes - Female
San Pedro River Valley, SE of San Manuel, Pinal County, Arizona, USA
October 25, 2010
I was told that a Flickr photo of mine is actually Arizona Tan Mantis (Stagmomantis gracilipes), by someone who would seem to be a specialist (Kris Anderson). I'm not sure how you can tell however. Here is a link to the page she linked me to https://www.researchgate.net/project/Praying-Mantises-of-the-United-States-and-Canada. Thank you for your help. If you could orient me to a description of how to tell these from the Bordered and California Mantis, I would appreciate it, as I have lots of other mantid photos from the area.

I'll park this in Stagmomantis pending further information. I know virtually nothing about this species. Somebody here probably will, though.
