Phryganistria is a genus of stick insects belonging to the subfamily Clitumninae , native to northeastern South Asia , northern Mainland Southeast Asia , and southern China .[1] The species in this genus range in size from fairly large to very large.[2]
The world's longest stick insect (which also makes it the longest known insects) is a currently undescribed species from Guangxi , China, informally referred to as Phryganistria "chinensis" . A wild collected female kept at the Insect Museum of West China was the record holder at 62.4 centimetres (24.6 in ) in total length (including extended legs),[3] but it was surpassed by one of its captive bred young that reached 64 centimetres (25 in ).[4] [5] The second-largest member of the genus likely is Phryganistria heusii yentuensis , with a total length of up to 52 centimetres (20 in ) and a body length up to 32 centimetres (13 in ).[2] [6] Another, Phryganistria tamdaoensis was selected in 2015 by the International Institute for Species Exploration as one of the "Top 10 New Species" for new species discovered in 2014.[7]
