Acanthoxylini
Tribe of stick insects
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acanthoxylini[2] is a tribe of Phasmatodeas (stick insects and relatives). They belong to the "typical" stick insects of the superfamily Anareolatae, though they are rather notable among these. For example, the New Zealand giant stick insect (the only species of Argosarchus) is huge, and all Acanthoxyla are females reproducing by parthenogenesis.
