Type-species. Phasma (Pachymorpha) coronatum de Haan 1842: 137, pl. 14: 4–5 [= Pylaemenes coronatus ], by subsequent designation of Kirby 1904: 400.
= Datames Stål, 1875: 51 , 93. [Synonymised by Hennemann 1998: 124]
= Pyloemenes Bradley & Galil, 1977: 198 . [Misspelling]
Diagnosis. Medium to large Dataminae . Body thick-built and cylindrical. Antennae distinctly longer than profemora, surpassing apices of protibiae. Thorax distinctly carinate medially. Male armed with spines.
Notes. Since Datames Stål, 1875 was synonymised with Pylaemenes Stål, 1875 (Hennemann 1998) , all the Datames species were transferred to the latter genus. In China, all known Pylaemenes are documented from female specimens. These preliminary data might indicate that males are rare, or that the concerned species represent allfemale obligate parthenogens. Therefore, the key is only given to the female.
