Phryganistria
''Phryganistria'' is a genus of stick insects belonging to the subfamily Clitumninae, native to Mainland Southeast Asia, including Yunnan China, central Vietnam and Bangladesh. The species in this genus have been subject to revision, with several being reassigned to the related ''Neophryganistria''. As with other genera in the tribe Pharnaciini, ''Phryganistria'' stick insects are notable for their range in size from "fairly large to very large", and amongst the world's longest stick insects (which also makes it the longest known insects). Species The genus includes the following: # ''Phryganistria bachmaensis'' - Vietnam # ''Phryganistria laikuenae'' - Yunnan # ''Phryganistria virgea'' - type species (as ''Bacteria sarmentosa'' ) - Bangladesh Reassigned species The following species, previously placed here, are now in genus ''Neophryganistria'': * ''Phryganistria fruhstorferi'' Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907 * ''P. grandis'' Rehn, 1906 * ''P. guanxiensis'' Chen & He, 2008 * '' ...

Carl Stål
Carl Stål (21 March 1833 – 13 June 1878) was a Swedish people, Swedish entomologist specialising in Hemiptera. He was born at Karlberg Castle, Stockholm on 21 March 1833 and died at Frösundavik near Stockholm on 13 June 1878. He was the son of architect, author and officer Carl Stål then Colonel, Swedish Corps of Engineers. He matriculated at Uppsala University in 1853, studying medicine and passing the medico-philosophical examination in 1857. He then turned to entomology and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Jena in 1859. The same year he became assistant to Carl Henrik Boheman in the Zoological department of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm, where, in 1867, he was appointed keeper with the title of professor. He made collecting trips in Sweden and throughout Europe and visited other museums including the collection of Johan Christian Fabricius in Kiel. His study of the Fabrician types resulted in his "Hemiptera Fabriciana". A significant part of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Phasmatodea Genera
The Phasmatodea (also known as Phasmida or Phasmatoptera) are an order of insects whose members are variously known as stick insects, stick bugs, walkingsticks, stick animals, or bug sticks. They are also occasionally referred to as Devil's darning needles, although this name is shared by both dragonflies and crane flies. They can be generally referred to as phasmatodeans, phasmids, or ghost insects, with phasmids in the family Phylliidae called leaf insects, leaf-bugs, walking leaves, or bug leaves. The group's name is derived from the Ancient Greek ', meaning an apparition or phantom, referring to their resemblance to vegetation while in fact being animals. Their natural camouflage makes them difficult for predators to detect; still, many species have one of several secondary lines of defense in the form of startle displays, spines or toxic secretions. Stick insects from the genera '' Phryganistria'', '' Ctenomorpha'', and ''Phobaeticus'' include the world's longest ins ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Undescribed Species
In taxonomy, an undescribed taxon is a taxon (for example, a species) that has been discovered, but not yet formally described and named. The various Nomenclature Codes specify the requirements for a new taxon to be validly described and named. Until such a description has been published, the taxon has no formal or official name, although a temporary, informal name is often used. A published scientific name may not fulfil the requirements of the Codes for various reasons. For example, if the taxon was not adequately described, its name is called a ''nomen nudum''. It is possible for a taxon to be "undescribed" for an extensive period of time, even if unofficial descriptions are published. An undescribed species may be referred to with the genus name, followed by "sp.", but this abbreviation is also used to label specimens or images that are too incomplete to be identified at the species level. In some cases, there is more than one undescribed species in a genus. In this case, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Neophryganistria Tamdaoensis
''Neophryganistria tamdaoensis'', originally described as ''Phryganistria tamdaoensis'', is a species of Phasmatodea, stick insect belonging to the family of Phasmatidae, giant stick insects. It was species description, described in 2014 based on specimens from the Tam Đảo National Park in Vietnam, hence, the Specific name (zoology), specific name ''tamdaoensis''. It was described by Joachim Bresseel and Jérôme Constant, biologists of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS). In the same paper they also reported the discovery of another new subspecies, ''Neophryganistria heusii yentuensis'', which – measuring 32 cm long – is the second biggest insect known to date. In contrast, ''P. tamdaoensis'', measuring only 23 cm long, is one of the smallest species under giant sticks. In 2015, the International Institute for Species Exploration names it as one of the "Top 10 New Species" for new species discovered in 2014. They were included in the list beca ...

List Of Largest Insects
Insects, which are a type of arthropod, are the most numerous group of multicellular organisms on the planet, with over a million species identified so far. The title of heaviest insect in the world has many contenders, the most frequently crowned of which is the larval stage of the Goliathus, goliath beetle, ''Goliathus goliatus'', the maximum size of which is at least and . The highest confirmed weight of an adult insect is for a gravid female giant weta, ''Deinacrida heteracantha'', although it is likely that one of the elephant beetles, ''Megasoma elephas'' and ''Megasoma actaeon'', or Goliathus, goliath beetles, both of which can commonly exceed and , can reach a greater weight. The longest insects are the stick insects, see below. Representatives of the extinct dragonfly-like Order (biology), order Meganisoptera (also known as griffinflies) such as the Carboniferous ''Meganeura monyi'' and the Permian ''Meganeuropsis permiana'' are the largest insect species ever known. ...
