The Phasmatinae are a subfamily of stick insects in the family Phasmatidae. They contain at least three tribes; Bradley and Galil corrected the spelling to "Phasmatinae" and provides a key to tribes.[1]

Tribes and genera

The Phasmida Species File[2] lists three tribes:
Acanthomimini

Authority: Günther, 1953; distribution Australasia

Acanthomima Kirby, 1904
Anophelepis Westwood, 1859
Arphax Stål, 1875
Echetlus (phasmid) Stål, 1875
Mauritiophasma Cliquennois & Brock, 2004
Vasilissa Kirby, 1896

Acanthoxylini

Authority: Bradley & Galil, 1977

Acanthoxyla Uvarov, 1944
Argosarchus Hutton, 1898
Clitarchus Stål, 1875
Pseudoclitarchus Salmon, 1991
Tepakiphasma Buckley & Bradler, 2010

Phasmatini

Selected genera (mostly from Australasia and SE Asia):

Acrophylla Gray, 1835
Anchiale Stål, 1875
Eurycnema Audinet-Serville, 1838
Onchestus Stål, 1877
Phasma Lichtenstein, 1796

Inclusion of Other Tribes

Some treatments include up to seven tribes in this subfamily. The Clitumnini and Pharnaciini are here separated in a distinct subfamily Clitumninae, and while the Achriopterini and Stephanacridini have also been placed in the Phasmatinae, other authors treat them as tribes incertae sedis among the Phasmatidae as is done here.
