Abstract The eggs of stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea) bear strong resemblance to plant seeds are commonly dispersed by females dropping them the litter. Here we report a novel egg-deposition mode for Phasmatodea performed an undescribed Vietnamese species enigmatic subfamily Korinninae that produces complex egg case (ootheca), containing numerous in highly ordered arrangement. This is most reminiscent cases produced members unrelated insect orders, e.g. praying mantises (Mantodea)...
The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed the Code has already been discussed Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; 2009a-b; Dubois Gentile Snell Minelli Cianferoni Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016).

Abstract Stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea) are large terrestrial herbivorous arthropods known for masquerading as plant parts such bark, twigs leaves. Their evolutionary history is largely shaped by convergent evolution associated with adaptive radiations on geographically isolated landmasses that have repeatedly generated ground‐dwelling ecomorphs. The members of one lineage, however, the Oriental Heteropterygidae, morphologically rather uniform, a predominantly lifestyle. phylogeny...
