Heteropteryginae
Heteropterygini is the only tribe within the subfamily of the Heteropteryginae (family Heteropterygidae; order Phasmatodea). With 19 representatives described, this subfamily includes the fewest species of the three subfamilies, but includes the largest and most striking species of the family. Characteristics Size and weight The representatives of the Heteropterygini are usually relatively large and heavy. Males become 2.5 to 13 cm long, females reach body lengths between 4.5 and 17 cm, with the larger species being clearly in the majority. Only the females of ''Haaniella parva'', '' Haaniella kerincia'' and ''Haaniella scabra'' remain smaller than 8.5 cm. The males of these species are at least 2.5 to 4.0 cm and a maximum of 3.7 to 5.7 cm long. The 14 to 17 cm long females of the ''Heteropteryx dilatata'' are not only the heaviest phasmids with 30 to 70 g, but are among the heaviest insects at all.

Heteropterygidae
The Heteropterygidae is a family of stick insects belonging to the suborder Euphasmatodea. Species can be found in Australasia, East and Southeast Asia. More than 130 valid species have been described (at the end of 2020). Characteristics Size The Heteropterygidae include both very small and very large and massive species. The representatives of the Dataminae are consistently rather small. So ''Planispectrum'' species are only long. The largest Dataminae species, with a maximum length of , are within the genera ''Pylaemenes'' and ''Orestes''. While the subfamily Obriminae with almost in ''Tisamenus hebardi'' and up to in ''Trachyaretaon carmelae'' shows a wide range of sizes, the Heteropteryginae are considered rather large. Indeed, there are very large and massive species, such as the up to long ''Heteropteryx dilatata'' known as Malayan jungle nymph, but also small species such as those in the male sex only long ''Haaniella parva''.

Haaniella Parva
''Haaniella parva'' is a species of stick insect from the subfamily Heteropteryginae and belongs to the representatives of the genus '' Haaniella'' native to Sumatra. It is their smallest representative. Description ''Haaniella parva'' is the smallest species of the genus and thus also of the entire subfamily of Heteropteryginae. It has only a few spines and belongs to the species with greatly shortened wings in both sexes. The forewings, which are formed as tegmina, completely cover the short hindwings. The latter are transformed into stridulation organs and the sound they produce is used to ward off enemies. The females are usually relatively uniformly colored light to dark brown or almost black, but can also have light patterns on the thorax and abdomen. The nominate subspecies reaches a length of . They have eight distinct spikes on their heads. These are almost equally sized, conical anterior and posterior coronals on the crown, two similarly sized, blunt lateral coronals ...

Haaniella
''Haaniella'' is a genus of the Phasmatodea family Heteropterygidae from Southeast Asia. Characteristics The species of the genus ''Haaniella'' reach a body length of 4.5 to 16.5 cm in the female sex. The males, which are 2.5 to 9.8 cm in length, are always smaller and have a slimmer abdomen than the females, whose abdomen, especially in the middle, is wider than the rest of the body. In females, as in all members of the subfamily Heteropteryginae, the abdomen ends in a secondary ovipositor, which surrounds the actual ovipositor. The fore wings (tegmina) of the adult females only just reach the abdomen. They also end at this height in the males of most species. Only the wings of males of '' Haaniella aculeata'', ''Haaniella glaber'' and ''Haaniella mecheli'' are significantly longer and have a similar wing construction as those of ''Heteropteryx dilatata''. Their narrow fore wings cover half or part of almost the entire abdomen. The hind wings below are usually even lo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Obriminae
The Obriminae are the most species-rich subfamily of the Phasmatodea family Heteropterygidae native to Southeast Asia. It is divided into two tribe. Taxonomy The tribe Obrimini was created by Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1893 for the genera '' Obrimus'', '' Hoploclonia'', ''Tisamenus'', ''Pylaemenes'', ''Dares'' and ''Datames'' (today synonym to ''Pylaemenes'') (abbreviated there as Obrimi.). Lawrence Bruner raised the Obrimini to the rank of a family in 1915. Heinrich Hugo Karny renamed the Obrimini or the Obrimidae in 1923 to Therameninae. In the introduction to his work he justified the renaming by saying that Brunner von Wattenwyl and Josef Redtenbacher when naming the subfamilies they established – and as such he also considers the tribes described by both of them – not always taking into account the genera described first. At least in the case of the Obriminae this is not true, since both the genus ''Obrimus'' and ''Theramenes'' was built in 1875 by Carl Stål. The name The ...

Haaniella Scabra
''Haaniella scabra'' is a species of stick insect native to Borneo and a typical representative of the subfamily Heteropteryginae. The occasionally used common name Small Haaniella refers to the size of this. Description ''Haaniella scabra'' primarily differs from most of the other representatives of the genus by its much smaller size. Many sharp spines can also be found in this species on the head, body and legs of both sexes. The formation of the wings also corresponds to that of the other '' Haaniella'' species. Both pairs of wings are shortened, with the forewings, which are designed as tegmina, completely covering the hindwings, which have been transformed into stridulation organs. The males are only long. The abdomen and legs are usually dark brown in color. The head and thorax are drawn somewhat livelier due to lighter parts. The spines in particular are usually very light or almost white. The forewings at rest reveal an equally bright "V"-shaped pattern. The remaining w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dataminae
Datamini is the only tribe within the subfamily of the Dataminae from the order of the Phasmatodea. The representatives of this subfamily are on average not as large as those of the other two subfamilies belonging to the family of Heteropterygidae. Description Datamini species remain relatively small for phasmids. In females, the body length varies between 2.5 and 6 cm, depending on the species. The males remain somewhat smaller with a body length of less than 2 to a maximum of 5 cm. The presence of sensory areas, which is considered to be the autapomorphic characteristic of the Heteropterygidae, is fully developed in the Dataminae. With them there is a pair of these sensory fields on the Prosternum and a third in the middle behind it on the so-called (Pro-) Furcasternit. All species are wingless in both sexes. The females lack the secondary ovipositor typically developed in the other subfamilies at the end of the abdomen. Their abdomen ends bluntly. In adult females ...

James Abram Garfield Rehn
James Abram Garfield Rehn (October 26, 1881 – January 25, 1965) was an American entomologist who was a specialist on the New World Orthoptera. He worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, making several collection expeditions around the world on their behalf. Rehn was born in Philadelphia to William and Cornela Loud Rehn. He studied at the Public Industrial Art School and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He took an interest in natural history at a young age and along with several others of his age were encouraged by Charles Willison Johnson, curator of the Wagner Free Institute of Science. He joined the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia as a Jessup student in 1900. Here he met many other naturalists including the ornithologist Witmer Stone from whom Rehn received informal training. Rehn met a 16 year old Morgan Hebard Morgan Hebard (February 23, 1887 – December 28, 1946) was an American entomologist who specialized in orthoptera, and assembl ...

Ventral
Standard anatomical terms of location are used to unambiguously describe the anatomy of animals, including humans. The terms, typically derived from Latin or Greek language, Greek roots, describe something in its standard anatomical position. This position provides a definition of what is at the front ("anterior"), behind ("posterior") and so on. As part of defining and describing terms, the body is described through the use of anatomical planes and anatomical axis, anatomical axes. The meaning of terms that are used can change depending on whether an organism is bipedal or quadrupedal. Additionally, for some animals such as invertebrates, some terms may not have any meaning at all; for example, an animal that is radially symmetrical will have no anterior surface, but can still have a description that a part is close to the middle ("proximal") or further from the middle ("distal"). International organisations have determined vocabularies that are often used as standard vocabular ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
