Egg case of praying mantis, mantid species unkown - Stagmomantis limbata

Egg case of praying mantis, mantid species unkown - Stagmomantis limbata
Los Angeles, Baldwin Hills neighborhood, zip 90016, Los Angeles County, California, USA
December 14, 2017
Size: Approx. 2—2 1/2" long
Many mantids observed in this area, which is a lushly landscaped condominium community; I've seen them in various colorations, including bright green, brownish, and even a shrimp/terracotta pink color. My assumption is that the egg case is from a California Mantis but I need further input.
