Achrioptera is a genus of stick insects first described in 1861.[1] It is one of two genera in the tribe Achriopterini, the other being Glawiana. Species in the genus Achrioptera occur in Africa, including Madagascar.[2] Although they are brightly colored, members of Achrioptera are able to effectively mimic thorny twigs and sticks for camouflage.[3]
