A new species of Phanocles Stål, 1875, P. decorus n. sp. from Ecuador, is described from the collection of the Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt-Universität in Berlin, Germany
Mortality of mountain ash defoliated by phasmatids during 1960–61 and again in 1962–63 reached 83 per cent within two years of the second defoliation. For two years after the second defoliation, the surviving trees decreased in diameter; thereafter, positive increment was recorded but only for the least affected trees.
Cultures of Acrophylla wülfingi Redtenbacher in Britain were for many years mistaken for the allied Acrophylla titan Macleay. The male is described for the first time.
Stick insects (Phasmida) are important herbivores in tropical ecosystems, but have been poorly investigated in their natural environment. We studied phasmids and their food plants in a tropical lowland rain forest in Borneo (Danum Valley, Sabah, Malaysia). Thirty species of phasmid were collected from 49 plant species during nocturnal surveys in the forest understorey. In most cases (35 plant species), experiments confirmed that these phasmids fed on those plant species from which they were collected. Partitioning of phasmid species among food plant species was highly significant. Two common species had a largely restricted diet: Asceles
margaritatus occurred mainly on Mallotus spp. (Euphorbiaceae) and Dinophasma
ruficornis on Leea
indica (Leeaceae). Other phasmids fed on a broad spectrum of plant families and can be considered polyphagous (e.g. Haaniella
echinata, Lonchodes
hosei
herberti). Feeding experiments were performed on captive phasmids using leaves from eight plant species. Asceles
margaritatus showed a significantly higher consumption rate for Mallotus
miquelianus leaves than for other plants, while H.
echinata showed the opposite trend and the lowest consumption for M.
miquelianus. However, A.
margaritatus readily accepted foliage from several plant families, particularly when Mallotus was not offered at the same time. Therefore, studies on host specialisation by herbivores need to include their distribution in the natural vegetation.

IN the Phasmoptera bisexual and parthenogenetic reproduction both occur. In several species males have never been found, or appear to be extremely scarce. Some observations under natural conditions and many in captivity have established that the reproduction of these species is parthenogenetic and thelytokous1-6. Well-known examples of this group are Carausius morosus Br. from India, and the south European populations of Bacillus rossii F. and Clonopsis gallica Charp.
