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.
Mnesilochus is a genus of stick insects in the subfamily Lonchodinae. Species have a known distribution in: Borneo, Philippines, Sumatra.
