Taxa hierarchy  

subfamily Phasmatinae Leach, 1815

• Distribution:
  •  Asia, Australasia, Brazil?
• Ecology:
  • Terrestrial.
• Citations (14):
  • Leach. 1815. In Brewster, D. The Edinburgh Encyclopedia 9(1):119   >> Note: Leach's use of the family name 'Phasmida', later amended to Phasmidae and then Phasmatidae by Gray in 1835, still leaves Leach as the original author i.e. the family-group name retains its authorship and date independently, if its ending is changed or not. So this also applies to the subfamily.
