Belongs within: Phasmatodea.
The Phasmatinae are a mostly Australasian group of stick insects, with some species found in Asia. They are robust, usually winged, and have moderately long antennae (Brock & Hasenpusch 2009). Some phasmatines are remarkably large: the titan stick insect Acrophylla titan reaches a length of 250 mm (Rentz 1996). The goliath stick insect Eurycnema goliath is less elongate but more heavily built.
