(Phasmatodea: Heteropterygidae: Obriminae: Obrimini) OSKAR V. CONLE Goldbachweg 24, 87538 Bolsterlang, Germany. Abstract A new genus and species (Hennobrimus hennemanni n. gen. n. sp.) of the tribe Obrimini from the Philippine Islands of Mindanao and Leyte are described and illustrated from both sexes. The holotype is preserved in the State Zoological Collections Munich, Germany (ZSMC). Paratypes are deposited in the private collection of the author (OC) and in the private collection of Frank H. Hennemann (Kaiserslautern, Germany; FH). Key words: Phasmatodea; Heteropterygidae; Obriminae; Obrimini; Hennobrimus hennemanni n. gen. n. sp.; Philippines; Mindanao Island; Leyte Island Introduction The Phasmid fauna of the Philippine Islands is apparently rich but still poorly known. The Obrimini, a tribe of Heteropterygidae: Obriminae, is restricted to the Philippine Islands, Palawan and Northern Borneo, but the great majority of taxa is endemic to the Philippines. Although this is the perhaps best known group of Philippine Phasmatodea, new species and even genera are frequently found (e.g. Zompro, 1996; Hennemann & Conle, 2003; Zompro, 2004; Hennemann & Conle, in press). An extensive study on the archipelagos members of Obrimini was published by Rehn & Rehn in 1939. Recently, a brief generic revision of the entire family, mainly based on the previous revision of Rehn & Rehn, was published by Zompro (2004). Zompro (2004: 200) divided Obriminae Rehn & Rehn, 1939 into three tribes: Microceramiini, Eubulidini and Obrimini, the latter including the genera Obrimus Stål, 1875, Euobrimus Rehn & Rehn, 1939, Brasidas Rehn & Rehn, 1939, Sungaya Zompro, 1996, Aretaon Rehn & Rehn, 1939 and Trachyaretaon Rehn & Rehn, 1939.

Multiple ecomorphs are present in the stick insect fauna from Papua New Guinea, including the tree lobster, spiny, and long slender forms. While ecomorphs have long been recognized in phasmids, there has yet to be an attempt to objectively define and study the evolution of these ecomorphs.

    PSG 118, Aretaon asperrimus (Redtenbacher) Paul Jennings, 14, Grenfell Avenue, Sunnybill, Derby, DE3 7JZ. U.K•• Taxonomic and distribution notes by P .E. Bragg. lliustration of male by E. Newman. Key words Phasmida, Aretaon asperrimus, Breeding, Rearing. Classification This species was originally described as Obrimus asperrimus by Redtenbacher in 1906. In 1938 Rehn & Rehn established the new genus Aretaon (1938: 419), with asperrimus as the type species. I have examined the type specimens of this species and A. muscosus Redtenbacher, which are all in Vienna, and I found that the type specimens of A. asperrimus are all adults while those of A. muscosus are all nymphs. A. muscosus is distinguished by having more prominent spines, particularly on the front tibiae and the top of the abdomen. However, having reared A. asperrimus it is clear that nymphs of this genus are very spiny and these spines in particular are reduced when the insect becomes adult. It is therefore quite likely that A. asperrimus and A. muscosus are the same species. This possibility was considered and rejected by Gunther (1935: 123) but as he had not reared them he would not have known that the spines are reduced when the insects become adult. The species in culture is clearly A. asperrimus, however it has smaller spines than the type specimens so clearly the species is variable. The type specimens of A. muscosus are much more spiny than those in culture, I cannot therefore be certain that A. asperrimus and A. muscosus are the same species. As there is a strong possibility that they are the same species, I am listing the published references and distribution records for both species.

A 101:11 of around 20 species of stick insects were found al four of these locations, including an undescribed species found at 3300m on Moum Kinabalu.

Our group stayed in six locations, four of which yielded many species of phasmid. The rainy season had started early and therefore it frequently rained all afternoon, and often into the night.

  • A Glossary of Terms Used to Describe Phasmids P.E
    A glossary of terms used to describe phasmids P.E. Bragg, 51 Longfield Lane, llkeston, Derbyshire, DE7 4DX, U.K. Abstract A brief glossary of descriptive terms used for external morphology of phasmids, including synonyms. Particular attention is paid to terms which are specific to phasmids or are used in a restricted sense when applied to phasmids. Some features are illustrated. Key words Phasmida, Glossary, Terminology, Morphology. Introduction I have received several requests for an article explaining the terminology that is used in descriptions of phasmids. For those without access to a good entomological dictionary, or a morphological textbook, the terminology can be confusing. In the past, authors have used terminology from various sources when describing phasmids, and although many terms have a meaning which applies equally to any insect, some terms have a specific or restricted meaning when applied to phasmids. Generally authors have used terminology which is usually applied to Orthoptera, but the structures may differ from those in Phasmida. Some terms are used differently by different authors (e.g. use of the word wing is often restricted to the hindwing, with elytron being used for the forewing, but some people use wing for both hindwing and forewing. To avoid confusion in this particular case it is best if elytron and hindwing are used, and the term wing avoided whenever possible). Some terms are hyphenated by some authors and not by others, it is best to avoid using unnecessary hyphens: i.e. use hindwing or hind wing and mid leg or midleg ; but not hind-wing or mid-leg.

The article on Dinophasma gwrigera (Westwood) (Bragg 1993) raised the question of how one determines dorsal and ventral surfaces on eggs in which the micropylar plate circles the egg. In the case of this species (by comparison with other Aschiphasmatinae eggs) it would appear that the dorsal surface has been correetly identified as that bearing the micropyle, since it is typical in eggs of this group that the operculum should be lilted ventrally and the micropylar plate should bear a ventral central stripe. The orientation would be confirmed by examination of the internal plate as indicated below. a a d (0) p p 1 d (c) (d) (e) Figure 1.
