Phyllium[1][2] is the largest and most widespread genus of leaf insects in the family Phylliidae (Phasmatodea). They can be found in Sundaland, Philippine Islands, Wallacea, Australasia.[3]

Species

Within the genus Phyllium, apart from Phyllium itself, the subgenus Pulchriphyllium established by Griffini in 1898 has been differentiated.[4][5] With Comptaphyllium and Walaphyllium two further subgenera were described in 2019 and 2020. Since 2021, all three subgenera have been regarded as separate genera.[6] The Phasmida Species File list the following species:[3]
Phyllium ericoriai female
Phyllium jacobsoni, pair
Phyllium mabantai, female
