The family Phylliidae contains the extant true leaf insects or walking leaves, which include some of the most remarkably camouflaged leaf mimics (mimesis) in the entire animal kingdom. They occur from South Asia through Southeast Asia to Australia. Earlier sources treat Phylliidae as a much larger taxon, containing genera in what are presently considered to be several different families.
Pseudophasmatidae is a family of stick insect, in the suborder Verophasmatodea, commonly called the "striped walkingsticks". An important identifying characteristic is its mesothorax, which is never more than three times as long as the prothorax.
Necrosciinae is a subfamily of the stick insect family Lonchodidae, with its greatest diversity in South-East Asia.
Pseudophasma brachypterum is a species of stick insect found in Brazil, Suriname, Guadeloupe and Peru.
Abrosoma nebulosum is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Abrosoma. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Asceles opacus, is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Asceles. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Paramenexenus subalienus is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Paramenexenus. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Paramenexenus inconspicuus is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Paramenexenus. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Parasipyloidea minuta is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Parasipyloidea. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Parasipyloidea zehntneri, or the thin grass stick insect, is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Parasipyloidea. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Parasosibia ceylonica is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Parasosibia. It is found in Sri Lanka.

Aschiphasmatidae are a family of stick insects belonging to the suborder Verophasmatodea; they can be found in Indomalaya.
Pylaemenes is a genus of stick insects in the family Heteropterygidae and subfamily Dataminae. It combines small to medium-sized, often brightly colored Phasmatodea species. Their representatives are found in large parts of Southeast Asia.
Heteropterygini is the only tribe within the subfamily of the Heteropteryginae from the order of the Phasmatodea in the family Heteropterygidae. With 19 representatives described, this subfamily represents both the species-poorest and that of the three subfamilies, to which the largest and most striking species are counted.
The genus Dares, which is mainly native to Borneo, combines relatively small and mostly dark-colored Phasmatodea species.
