Help me sex this mantis

[Czech prime]

The species is Phyllocrania paradoxa amd it is sub adult.
It was supposed to be a female and it seems like she has her body split into 6 segments but the part at the end of their abdomen only females have does not seem to be present like it is with the other one the same size

@Toxoderidae , want to chime in?

I am not very good at sexing by segments, but in this species you can also sex by looking at the protrusion on top of their heads.

"The males are easily identified after two molts because the expansion of the male's prothorax is much smaller and the leaf on the head is pinched in the middle"

Yep. That's a lass. Congratulations.

Thanks all
I see now that she is the same as the other female lol (the other one was freshly molted when i was comparing them and her ovipositor was showing more clearly but now they look the same)

I got another two i'm not sure about. Neither has more segments so they are the same gender probbably but not sure if that's 7/8 or 6
The species is Creobroter gemmatus

I'm on my phone and count 7(?). Males have 8 so I'm guessing female unless there's another I can't see.

I'm not very good in sexing according to segments. Do you have a frontal picture to look at the antennae? Which instar is it?

 

[Toxoderidae]
