Whiting, Chair Sven Bradler Seth M. Bybee Steven D. Leavitt Department of Biology Brigham Young University Copyright © 2018 Yelena Marlese Pacheco All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Ecomorph Convergence in Stick Insects (Phasmatodea) with Emphasis on the Lonchodinae of Papua New Guinea Yelena Marlese Pacheco Department of Biology, BYU Master of Science Phasmatodea exhibit a variety of cryptic ecomorphs associated with various microhabitats. 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.

Introduction Biology Stick and leaf insects, scientifically known as phasmids, Females lay eggs one at a time, often with a flick of their are among the largest of all insects in the world. At 26 cm, abdomens to throw the egg some distance. An individual the Titan Stick Insect (Acrophylla titan) is the longest of female drops eggs at a rate of one to several per day and all Australian insects. Phasmids have perfected the art of she can produce between 100 and 1,300 eggs in her life- camouflage. Some resemble sticks and foliage so closely time. They fall to the ground and lie in the leaf litter. they even feature false buds, thorns and ragged leaf-like flanges. Small wonder they are rarely seen except after storms when they are blown out of threes and shrubs. Phasmids are sometimes confused with a different group of insects, the mantids. Also called Praying Mantids, these are predators with large, spiny front legs, held folded ready to strike and grasp prey. In contrast, Phasmids are herbivores (plant-eaters) with simple front legs that are similar in size and structure to their other legs. A variety of insect eggs. (on left).

Some browse on a wide variety of trees and shrubs but others are fussy, eating only a limited range of host plants that are often closely Stick insect eggs are generally oval, and superficially seed- related to each other.

    PSG 28, Eurycnema herculeana (Charpentier) Frank Hennemann, Gartenstrasse 14, 6702 Bad OOrkheim, Germany. Taxonomic notes by P.E. Bragg. Key words Phasmida, EurycneT1Ul herculeana, EurycneT1Ul versifasciata, Breeding, Rearing. Taxonomy When I started to list the synonymy of this species I found that there was confusion in the published synonyms. Westwood (1859: 107) gave E. herculeana (Charpentier) as a junior synonym of E. versirubra (Serville), and also said these (and also E. versifasciata) were just a variation of E. goliath (Gray). Kirby (1904: 391) also considered E. herculeana to be a junior synonym of E. versirubra. Redtenbacher (1908: 468) listed E. herculeana as a species but also indicated E. versifasciata (Serville) as a probable synonym. Redtenbacher then gave E. versirubra as a junior synonym of Eurycnema goliath (Gray). Although I have not examined the type specimens, there has been so much confusion that it seems quite possible that Westwood was correct in thinking that all four of these species may be just variations of the same species. One thing is clear however, E. herculeana is probably not the valid name for this species. If Kirby's synonym was correct, the name should be E. versirubra: if Redtenbacher's synonym is correct, the name should be E. versifasciata: if Westwood was correct, the name should be E. goliath. In any of these cases, E. herculeana would be incorrect as it is not the oldest name. However below I list only papers which mention the name herculeana. Cyphocrania herculeana, Charpentier, 1841a: pI. 1. Cyphocrania herculeana Charpentier, Charpentier, 1841b: 283. Eurycnema herculeana (Charpentier), Brunn, 1898: 148.
