Carausius is a genus of the tribe Lonchodini, in the order Phasmatodea. The genus is in many ways typical of the Phasmatodea in that all species are twig-like in appearance. These species are parthenogenetic.
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, excluding the Timematodea. The oldest record of Euphasmatodea is Araripephasma from the Crato Formation of Brazil, dating to the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous.
Mnesilochus is a genus of stick insects in the subfamily Lonchodinae. Species have a known distribution in: Borneo, Philippines, Sumatra.
Pharnaciini is a tribe of Asian stick insects, which includes the world's longest insects.
Necrosciinae is a subfamily of the stick insect family Lonchodidae, with its greatest diversity in South-East Asia.
Diapheromerinae is a subfamily of the stick insect family Diapheromeridae. They belong to the superfamily Anareolatae of suborder Verophasmatodea.
Ramulus is an Asian genus of stick insects in the family Phasmatidae and tribe Clitumnini.
Bacillidae is a stick insect family in the order Phasmatodea and the suborder Verophasmatodea.
Sipyloidea is a genus of stick insects of the family Lonchodidae. Species have been recorded from India, China, Indochina, through to Australasia. The genus was described by Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1893.
Aschiphasmatidae are a family of stick insects belonging to the suborder Verophasmatodea; they can be found in Indomalaya.
The Clitumninae are a sub-family of stick insects in the family Phasmatidae found in Asia. The type genus Clitumnus is now considered a synonym of Ramulus.
The Lonchodinae are a subfamily of stick insects in the family Lonchodidae found in: Australasia, Asia, Africa, Southern America and the Pacific.
The Gratidiini are a tribe of stick insects based on the type genus Clonaria and first used by Cliquennois in 2005. Genera are known to be distributed in: Africa, Europe, temperate and tropical Asia and various Pacific Islands.
The Megacraniinae are an anareolate subfamily of stick insects in the family Phasmatidae. Their known distribution includes Malesia and islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans. Several genera have been revised and were placed previously in the Platycraninae.
Platycrana is the type genus of the reconstituted subfamily Platycraninae: which are stick insects from the Asia-Pacific region. They belong to the monotypic tribe PlatycraniniBrunner von Wattenwyl, 1893.
The Cladomorphinae are a subfamily of stick insects in the family Phasmatidae. This taxon is particularly well represented in the Neotropical region, but records also exist for Madagascar, Java and the Maluku Islands.
Nesiophasma is a genus of very large stick insects within the order Phasmatodea and the tribe of Stephanacridini. This genus is found in Wallacea west of Weber’s Line: Sulawesi, Peleng Island, Selayar Island, Kalaotoa Island, Sanana Island, Romang Island, Timor Island, Sangihe Island and Talaud Islands. New Guinea with doubt. The largest in the list of species is Nesiophasma giganteum, with females reaching a body length of 30 cm.
Rhamphophasma is a genus of stick insects in the tribe Clitumnini, erected by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1893. Species have been recorded from: China, Vietnam, India, Myanmar and Japan.
Parapachymorpha is a genus of stick insects in the tribe Medaurini, erected by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1893. Species have been recorded from: China, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
