Stagmomantis gracilipes, common name Arizona tan mantis, is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae. They are native to the south-western United States and Mexico. Distinguished from other Stagmomantis species by its slender legs (reflected in the specific epithet 'gracilipes,' meaning slender-footed). The common name 'Arizona tan mantis' suggests a tan or light brown coloration. Further distinguishing features from congeners such as Stagmomantis limbata (Arizona or bordered mantid) and Stagmomantis californica (California mantid) require detailed examination of morphological characters.
