The Stick Insects & Walking Leaves (Phasmatodea: Areolatae) of Papua Indonesia

by Marco Gottardo & Royce Cumming


For practical reasons the list represents all New Guinea species, including those from PNG, because from many species no exact locality data are known. Further inventories must establish the actual occurence in Papua Indonesia.

Species of which the occurence in Papua is not known or certain are coloured grey.

Listed New Guinea species: 20

The Walking Leaves are represented in New Guinea by: Aschiphasmatidae (1), Heteropterygidae (4), Phylliidae (15)
