The Phasmida Species File (PSF) is a taxonomic database of the world's Phasmida (stick and leaf insects, known as walking sticks and walking leaves in the U.S.). There is full synonymic and taxonomic information for 3,269 valid species and 5,000 taxonomic names, 35,300 citations to 3,000 references, also 7,000 specimen records and 16,000 images of 75% of valid species, with more being added to on a regular basis. Another future aim of this database is to provide high quality images of living phasmids in the wild and in captivity. Colleagues have kindly collaborated by providing photos (with particular thanks to Oskar Conle & Frank Hennemann).Taxonomic Coverages
