Obrimus (phasmid)
''Obrimus'' is a stick insect genus native to the Philippines. It is type genus for the tribe and the subfamily in which it is listed. Characteristics The species of this genus correspond in the habitus to the other representatives of the Obrimini, appear somewhat longer-legged compared to these and also have longer antennae than these. Like almost all other Obrimini, they are wingless in either sex. They are similar in size and appearance to the species of the genera ''Brasidas''. As with these, the females have a relatively long and straight ovipositor that surrounds the actual ovipositor. Most Obrimus species have more and more pointed spines, which, however, are often thinner than those of most other Obrimini species. Compared to the representatives of ''Brasidas'' and ''Euobrimus'' there are only poorly or partially barely recognizable, flat slits or pits and none holes at the outer edge of the metasternum. The shape of the eggs also differs significantly from that of ot ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dorsal (anatomy)
Standard anatomical terms of location are used to unambiguously describe the anatomy of animals, including humans. The terms, typically derived from Latin or 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 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 vocabularies for subdisciplines of anatom ...

Terrariums
A vivarium (Latin, literally for "place of life"; plural: ''vivaria'' or ''vivariums'') is an area, usually enclosed, for keeping and raising animals or plants for observation or research. Water-based vivaria may have open tops providing they are not connected to other water bodies. An animal enclosure is considered a vivarium only if it provides quality of life through naturalistic components such as ample living space and natural decor that allow and encourage natural behaviours. Often, a portion of the ecosystem for a particular species is simulated on a smaller scale, with controls for environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and light. A vivarium may be small enough to sit on a desk or table, such as a terrarium or an aquarium, or may be a very large structure, possibly outdoors. Large vivaria, particularly those holding organisms capable of flight, typically include some sort of a dual-door mechanism such as a sally port for entry and exit, so that the outer ...

John Obadiah Westwood
John Obadiah Westwood (22 December 1805 – 2 January 1893) was an English entomologist and archaeologist also noted for his artistic talents. He published several illustrated works on insects and antiquities. He was among the first entomologists with an academic position at Oxford University. He was a natural theologian, staunchly anti-Darwinian, and sometimes adopted a quinarian viewpoint. Although he never travelled widely, he described species from around the world on the basis of specimens, especially of the larger, curious, and colourful species, obtained by naturalists and collectors in England. Life and work Westwood was born in a Quaker family in Sheffield, the son of medal and die maker, John Westwood (1774–1850) and Mary, daughter of Edward Betts. He went to school at the Friends' School, Sheffield and later at Lichfield when the family moved there.

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.

Trachyaretaon
''Trachyaretaon'' is a genus of Phasmatodea, stick insects native to the Philippines. Description The representatives of this genus correspond in the Habitus (biology), habitus typical representatives of the Obrimini and are very similar in appearance to the species of the genera ''Aretaon (insect), Aretaon'' and ''Sungaya''. Like these, they are wingless in either sex. The males of the previously known species are around in length and are smaller than the females which are in length. In egg-laying adult females, the Abdomen (insect anatomy), abdomen in the middle is clearly thickened in height and width and thus almost circular in cross-section. As with the other genera of the Obriminae, a secondary ovipositor at the end of the abdomen surrounds the actual ovipositor. It is ventral formed from the eighth sternite, which is called subgenital plate or operculum and Dorsal (anatomy), dorsally from the eleventh tergum, which here is called the supraanal plate or epiproct.
