Acanthoxyla
''Acanthoxyla'' is a genus of stick insects in the family Phasmatidae (tribe Acanthoxylini). All the individuals of the genus are female and reproduce asexually by parthenogenesis. However, a male '' Acanthoxyla inermis'' was recently discovered in the UK, probably the result of chromosome loss. The genus is the result of interspecific hybridisation resulting in some triploid lineages and some diploid lineages. The genus is endemic to New Zealand, but some species have been accidentally introduced elsewhere. The genus name ''Acanthoxyla'' translates from Greek as prickly stick (acantho = thorn; xyla = wood).

Acanthoxyla Inermis
''Acanthoxyla inermis'' (the unarmed stick insect) is an insect that was described by John Salmon in 1955. ''Acanthoxyla inermis'' is included in the genus Acanthoxyla, and family Phasmatidae. No subspecies are listed. This species is native to New Zealand but has been unintentionally moved to Great Britain where it has grown a stable population and is the longest insect observed, and the most common of the stick insects that have established themselves on the island.Chapman, D. saga.co.uk Anatomy ''A. inermis'' has a long thin body and three pairs of thin jointed limbs resembling twigs. The species has been observed as having many superficial differences in appearance among individuals: The body colour and texture is varied and is many shades green, brown or yellow. Adult members of this species can grow to 10 cm long. The bodies of this genus are sometimes covered in spines while other specimens have perfectly smooth bodies and others still have a series of tubercles. ...

Acanthoxyla Prasina
''Acanthoxyla prasina'', the prickly stick insect, is a stick insect in the order Phasmatodea and the family Phasmatidae. It is found throughout New Zealand, although it is less frequently reported than "common" stick insect species. It has been introduced to Britain, predominantly Cornwall and Devon, and to the south-west region of the Republic of Ireland. It has a thorny skin, which is used as camouflage.Insect poses prickly questions on '' Otago Daily Times'' website, viewed 2013-10-16 The species reproduces by , producing eggs without the help of a male, ...

Phasmatodea Genera
The Phasmatodea (also known as Phasmida, Phasmatoptera or Spectra) are an order of insects whose members are variously known as stick insects, stick-bugs, walking sticks, stick animals, or bug sticks. They are also occasionally referred to as Devil's darning needles, although this name is shared by both dragonflies and crane flies. They can be generally referred to as phasmatodeans, phasmids, or ghost insects, with phasmids in the family Phylliidae called leaf insects, leaf-bugs, walking leaves, or bug leaves. The group's name is derived from the Ancient Greek ', meaning an apparition or phantom, referring to their resemblance to vegetation while in fact being animals. Their natural camouflage makes them difficult for predators to detect; still, many species have one of several secondary lines of defense in the form of startle displays, spines or toxic secretions. Stick insects from the genera ''Phryganistria'', ''Ctenomorpha'', and ''Phobaeticus'' include the world's longe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Acanthoxylini
AcanthoxyliniLeach (1815) In Brewster, D. ''The Edinburgh Encyclopedia'' 9(1): 119. is a tribe of Phasmatodeas (stick insects and relatives). They belong to the "typical" stick insects of the superfamily Anareolatae, though they are rather notable among these. For example, the New Zealand giant stick insect (the only species of ''Argosarchus'') is huge, and all ''Acanthoxyla'' are females reproducing by parthenogenesis.
