Microrestes
The genus ''Microrestes'' combines relatively small and squat Phasmatodea species from continental Southeast Asia and South China. Characteristics The representatives of the genus ''Microrestes'' remain particularly compared to their closest relatives, the representatives of the genera '' Orestes'' and ''Pylaemenes'', relatively small. Females stay smaller than 4 cm, males smaller than 3.5 cm. A feature of the genus is the shape of the first two antenna segments, each of which has two teeth on the outer margin. In the larger basal segment (scapus) these are much more pronounced than in the second segment (pedicellus). The typical appearance is mainly due to the shape of the Pro- and Mesonotum. While the pronotum widens in a trapezoidal shape posteriorly, as in ''Pylaemenes'', the mesonotum tapers in a trapezoidal shape posteriorly. The Metanotum is slightly wider at the back than at the front, unlike in ''Orestes'' species, which do not have a trapezoidal meso- and ...

Microrestes Robustus
''Microrestes robustus'' is a Phasmatodea, stick insect species native to northwestern Vietnam. Characteristics ''Microrestes robustus'' can be distinguished from the only other species of the genus described so far, ''Microrestes trapezius'', by its smaller size and less pronounced surface structure. The anterior side margins of the mesonotum are only reinforced with an indistinct hump, while in ''M. trapezius'' these are clearly spiny. Females are about long and compact in Habit (biology), habit. They show light, yellowish to orange-colored patterns on a brown ground color, which are more pronounced in the Abdomen (insect anatomy), abdomen area. With age, they become uniform dark brown. On the long head, the supraantennas and the occipitals are present as small blunt spines. The vertex is raised and slightly elongated. The supraorbitals, procoronals, and anterior coronals are almost continuously fused into two wavy crests that almost touch posteriorly. The posterior and la ...

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 ...

Orestes (insect)
The genus ''Orestes'' combines relatively small and elongated Phasmatodea species from Southeast and East Asia. Characteristics The representatives of this genus are rather small with in the males and in females. Both sexes are always wingless and colored in different shades of beige to brown and often show high-contrast drawings with white areas, especially in younger females and female nymphs. Males are more of a single color in different shades of brown. The thorax is cylindrical or approximately cylindrical, unlike that of representatives of the genus ''Pylaemenes'', whose meso- and metanotum is flattened or slightly roof-shaped, with a clearly raised central and two lateral longitudinal keels. The mesonotum of the ''Orestes'' females is slightly widened to the rear and there are often two lateral longitudinal rows of tubercles. The legs and especially the femura of the forelegs often have clear edges. The abdomen of adult, egg-laying females is clearly enlarged towards ...

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''.

Thailand
Thailand ( ), historically known as Siam () and officially the Kingdom of Thailand, is a country in Southeast Asia, located at the centre of the Indochinese Peninsula, spanning , with a population of almost 70 million. The country is bordered to the north by Myanmar and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the extremity of Myanmar. Thailand also shares maritime borders with Vietnam to the southeast, and Indonesia and India to the southwest. Bangkok is the nation's capital and largest city. Tai peoples migrated from southwestern China to mainland Southeast Asia from the 11th century. Indianised kingdoms such as the Mon, Khmer Empire and Malay states ruled the region, competing with Thai states such as the Kingdoms of Ngoenyang, Sukhothai, Lan Na and Ayutthaya, which also rivalled each other. European contact began in 1511 with a Portuguese diplomatic mission to Ayutthaya, w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vietnam
Vietnam or Viet Nam ( vi, Việt Nam, ), officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,., group="n" is a country in Southeast Asia, at the eastern edge of mainland Southeast Asia, with an area of and population of 96 million, making it the world's sixteenth-most populous country.

It shares maritime borders with Thailand through the Gulf of Thailand, and the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia through the South China Sea. Its capital is Hanoi and its largest city is Ho Chi Minh City (commonly known as Saigon). Vietnam was inhabited by the Paleolithic age, with states established in the first millennium BC on the Red River Delta in modern-day northern Vietnam. The Han dynasty annexed Northern and Central Vietnam under Chinese rule from 111 BC, until the first dynasty emerged in 939. Successive monarchical dynasties absorbed Chinese influences through Confucianism and Buddhism, and expanded ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Myanmar
Myanmar, ; UK pronunciations: US pronunciations incl. . Note: Wikipedia's IPA conventions require indicating /r/ even in British English although only some British English speakers pronounce r at the end of syllables. As John C. Wells, John Wells explains, the English spellings of both Myanmar and Burma assume a non-rhotic variety of English, in which the letter r before a consonant or finally serves merely to indicate a long vowel: [ˈmjænmɑː, ˈbɜːmə]. So the pronunciation of the last syllable of Myanmar as [mɑːr] or of Burma as [bɜːrmə] by some speakers in the UK and most speakers in North America is in fact a spelling pronunciation based on a misunderstanding of non-rhotic spelling conventions. The final ''r'' in ''Myanmar'' was not intended for pronunciation and is there to ensure that the final a is pronounced with the broad a, broad ''ah'' () in "father". If the Burmese name my, မြန်မာ, label=none were spelled "Myanma" in English, this would b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
China
China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population exceeding 1.4 billion, slightly ahead of India. China spans the equivalent of five time zones and borders fourteen countries by land, the most of any country in the world, tied with Russia.
