Brockphasma Spinifemoralis
''Brockphasma'' is currently a monotypic genus of Asian stick insects in the tribe Necrosciini Necrosciinae is a subfamily of the stick insect family Lonchodidae, with its greatest diversity in South-East Asia. The subfamilies Necrosciinae and Lonchodinae, formerly part of Diapheromeridae, were determined to make up a separate family and ..., erected by G.W.C. Ho, Liu, Bresseel & Constant in 2014.

To date, one species has been recorded from Vietnam. Species The ''Phasmida Species File'' currently only includes '' Brockphasma spinifemoralis'' Ho, Liu, Bresseel & Constant, 2014: found in Bạch Mã National Park; the genus was named after the English stick insect specialist Paul Brock.

Monotypic Genus
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, '' Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda.' ...

Stick Insect
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 long ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Necrosciini
Necrosciinae is a subfamily of the stick insect family Lonchodidae, with its greatest diversity in South-East Asia. The subfamilies Necrosciinae and Lonchodinae, formerly part of Diapheromeridae, were determined to make up a separate family and were transferred to the re-established family Lonchodidae in 2018. Genera The ''Phasmida Species File'' includes the genera below; most belong to the tribe Necrosciini Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893: Korinnini Auth.: Günther, 1953; distribution: India, Thailand, Malesia # '' Kalocorinnis'' Günther, 1944 # '' Korinnis'' Günther, 1932 Necrosciini * '' Acacus'' Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907 * '' Acanthophasma'' Chen & He, 2000 * '' Anarchodes'' Redtenbacher, 1908 * '' Anasceles'' Redtenbacher, 1908 * '' Andropromachus'' Carl, 1913 * '' Asceles'' Redtenbacher, 1908 * '' Aschiphasmodes'' Karny, 1923 * '' Asystata'' Redtenbacher, 1908 * '' Austrosipyloidea'' Brock & Hasenpusch, 2007 * '' Brevinecroscia'' Seow-Choen, 2016 * '' Brockphasma'' H ...

Bạch Mã National Park
Bạch Mã National Park ( vi, Vườn quốc gia Bạch Mã) is a protected area in central Vietnam, near the city of Huế. It covers 220 km2 and comprises three zones: a strictly protected core area, an administrative area and a buffer zone. In 2004, the park was being considered for expansion in order to create a corridor from the border with Laos to the sea. The park can be accessed by foot, moped or with a park guide's car. History In 1932, the summit of Bạch Mã was selected by the French engineer Girard to become a hill station for the colonial administration of Hue. In the following years, a village including 139 villas and hotels was created. To accommodate holidaymakers and to avoid commuting on the steep, road to the next major town, there was a post office, a market, and a hospital. By 1937 the number of holiday homes had reached 139 and it became known as the " Dalat of central Vietnam". Most of the visitors were high-ranking French VIPs. Not surprisingly t ...
