Abstract:
A generic revision of the insect order Phasmatodea: The New World genera of the stick
insect subfamily Diapheromerinae (Diapheromeridae) = Heteronemiinae (Heteronemiidae) sensu
Bradley & Galil, 1977.
The North and South American genera of the phasmatodean subfamily Diapheromerinae =
Heteronemiinae sensu Bradley & Galil are revised. All genera are redescribed, type species are
mentioned or designated, and synonyms listed. Two new tribes, Ocnophilini and Oreophoetini, are
established, and the Libethrini are synonymized with Diapheromerini. Genitalia, eggs and important
other characters of most genera are figured.
Ten new genera are introduced and five new species are described. Previously unknown males, females
and eggs of several species are described. The genera are arranged in groups, with separate keys to all
tribes and generic-level groups, including males, females, and eggs to the extent currently known
