Praying Mantis - Hierodula daphne

Currently, Hierodula daphne is listed as synonym of Hierodula venosa, however, I was told by a Mantid specialist that the synonym is likely to be in error and that Hierodula daphne is likely a valid species. He mentioned that if this can be verified to be Hierodula daphne, then this could be the only pictures in existence of a live specimen!

Hierodula daphne was described by Stal in 1877, so only drawings and description of it are in records, and dead specimens.
