Hoplocorypha macra, a species of African stick mantis. Illustration by M. Beier, 1935
Stick mantis and twig mantis are common names applied to numerous species of mantis that mimic sticks or twigs as camouflage. Often the name serves to identify entire genera such as is the case with:[1][2][3][4]
Brunneria (including Brunner's stick mantis, the Brazilian stick mantis and the small-winged stick mantis)
Hoplocorypha (the African stick mantises)
Paratoxodera (including the Borneo stick mantis and the giant Malaysian stick mantis)
Popa (African twig mantis)[5]
In cases, some but not all members of a genera are called by a variation of one of these names. For example:
