Pulchriphyllium Rimiae
''Pulchriphyllium'' is a genus of leaf insects. It was first established by Achille Griffini in 1898 as a subgenus within the genus ''Phyllium''. It has been elevated as a valid genus since 2021. The representatives of the genus are native to Sundaland and continental Asia. Description The ''Pulchriphyllium'' can be differentiated from other Phylliidae genera by the following combinations of morphological characters. Female: Tegmen, Tegmina cubitus venation simple (unsplit) or bifurcate (into an anterior cubitus (CuA) and posterior cubitus (CuP1) only); tegmina with media and cubitus veins running side by side and touching throughout the majority of their length; tibiae with well-developed exterior lobes; prescutum which is the same width as length, or notably longer than wide; terminal antennomere as long as the preceding one or two segments combined. Male: Alae radial sector, media anterior, and media posterior veins fusing to the cubitus at different locations along the vei ...

Leaf Insects
The family Phylliidae (often misspelled Phyllidae) 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. Characteristics Leaf insects are well camouflaged, taking on the appearance of leaves. They do this so accurately that predators often are not able to distinguish them from real leaves. In some species, the edge of the leaf insect's body has the appearance of bite marks. To further confuse predators, when the leaf insect walks, it rocks back and forth, mimicking a real leaf being blown by the wind. The scholar Antonio Pigafetta was probably the first Western person to document the creature, though it was known to people in the tropics for a long time. Sailing with F ...

Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville
Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville (; his name, before the French Revolution, Revolution, included a Nobiliary particle, particle: Audinet de Serville) was a French entomologist, born on 11 November 1775 in Paris. He died on 27 March 1858 in La Ferté-sous-Jouarre. Life and career He was introduced to entomology by Madame de Grostête-Tigny who was fascinated, like her husband, by chemistry and insects. Through her, Audinet-Serville met Pierre André Latreille (1762–1833). Latreille worked with him on the ''Dictionnaire des Insectes de l’Encyclopédie méthodique'' ("The Methodical Encyclopedia Dictionary of Insects"). Then, working with Guillaume-Antoine Olivier (1756–1814), he finished the book ''Faune française'' ("French Fauna") in 1830. Audinet-Serville is particularly known for his work on the Orthoptera. He published, ''Revue méthodique de l’ordre des Orthoptères'' ("Methodical Review of the Order of Orthoptera") which appeared in ''Annales des sciences naturelles' ...

Pulchriphyllium Giganteum
''Pulchriphyllium giganteum'', commonly known as the Giant Malaysian Leaf insect, is a species of leaf insects described from Malaysia by Hausleithner in 1984 and placed in the genus ''Pulchriphyllium'' since 2021. ''Pulchriphyllium giganteum'' is the largest species belonging to the genus ''Pulchriphyllium'' reaching 105 mm in size. They are found most abundantly in the west Malaysian tropics. The females typically have large elytra that lie edge to edge on the abdomen and tend to lack hind wings making them usually flightless. Males have small elytra and sometimes transparent non-leaflike functional hind wings. ''Pulchriphyllium giganteum'' found in the wild tend to be mostly females and the first male of this species was not found until 1994. In captivity, the species has primarily been observed to reproduce through parthenogenesis meaning the females are asexual. The primary reproductive pattern in the wild is unknown. Eggs tend to be brown or black and glossy and resemble ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
