''Pseudocreobotra'' is a genus of Sub-Saharan Africa, Sub-Saharan flower mantises. They are visually similar to ''Creobroter'' species of Asia,
but belong to different subfamilies. Their forewings have prominent spiralled eyespots, which are flashed in a silent deimatic display, to startle would-be predators. The nymphs however, expand the raised abdomen in response to threats, to reveal a single dorsal eyespot.
The species are easily reared in captivity.
