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.Bradley JR Galil (1977) Proceedings of the Entomological Society, Washington 79(2): 192.
Tribes and genera The Phasmida Species FilePhasmida Species File (Version 5.0/5.0) 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.
