Mantis Id

I posted about this in my nano setup diary but I thought I'd put a post here where someone might know more about it. I spotted a little hitch-hiker today, a small mantis only around 2cm long. It's jet black with white edges on each segment. Does anyone know what species it is? I googled for some pics but couldn't find a match. It disappereared into the LR before I could take a picture.

Thanks for the link. Couldn't find one that looked exactly like it but the pic of the Haptosquilla hamifera looked closest. The one in my tank has more white stripes. If it doesn't get much bigger than it is at the moment it may be one and if so it will stay.
