The Phasmida Species File[2] includes the genera below; most belong to the tribe Necrosciini Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893:

Tribe not determined

Two relatively new monotypic genera are currently placed incertae sedis:

  • Conlephasma enigma Gottardo & Heller, 2012 (Philippines)
  • Gibbernecroscia kooymani Brock, Hasenpusch & Petrović, 2019 (Australia)
gollark: This is due to JS having NO FUNCTION TO PICK FILES æ.
gollark: In JS tradition, it actually creates an invisible/antimemetic `<input type=file>` to operate.
gollark: GTech™ fileuploadeoforms.
gollark: We're shutting it down in 22 seconds.
gollark: This is just a simulation where GTech™ tests what happens if it *is* allowed.
