The Lonchodinae are a subfamily of stick insects in the family Lonchodidae found in: Australasia, Asia, Africa, Southern America and the Pacific.
The subfamilies Necrosciinae and Lonchodinae, formerly part of Diapheromeridae, were determined to make up a separate family and were transferred to the re-established family Lonchodidae in 2018. [1]
The Phasmida Species File [2] lists two established tribes:

The tribe Neohiraseini Hennemann & Conle, 2008 is now considered a junior synonym in the family Diapheromeridae: subfamily Necrosciinae.
The Euphasmatodea, also known by its junior synonym Verophasmatodea is a suborder of the Phasmatodea, which contains the vast majority of the extant species of stick and leaf insects.
Mnesilochus is a genus of stick insects in the subfamily Lonchodinae. Species have a known distribution in: Borneo, Philippines, Sumatra.

Members of the genus are found only in Southeast Asia. Of the new species described in 2014, Phryganistria heusii yentuensis, which is 32 cm long, is one of the longest insects known to date. Another, Phryganistria tamdaoensis was selected in 2015 by the International Institute for Species Exploration as one of the "Top 10 New Species" for new species discovered in 2014.
