• Nomenclatural details:   Original name
• Citations (5):
  • Leach. 1815. In Brewster, D. The Edinburgh Encyclopedia 9(1):119   >> Note: His use of the family name, later amended to Phasmidae and then Phasmatidae by Gray in 1833 & 1835 respectively, 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
  • Karny. 1923. Treubia 3(2):230-242
