Hennemann, Frank H., 2021, Stick insects of Sulawesi, Peleng and the Sula Islands, Indonesia- a review including checklists of species and descriptions of new taxa (Insecta: Phasmatodea), Zootaxa 5073 (1), pp. 1-189 : 66

Genus Periphetes Stål, 1877

( Fig. 27 )

Type-species: Phasma graniferum Westwood, 1859: 35 , pl. 3: 4, by original designation.

Comments: A discussion of this genus and list of species included has been presented by Hennemann & Conle (2007: 53), who described a new species from the Philippines and established new synonymies of the most common species in Sulawesi, P. forcipatus ( Bates, 1865) . Precise type data of the latter taxa can be found in Hennemann & Conle (2007: 54) and are therefore omitted in the list of species below.

Distribution: Philippines, Sulawesi & Sangihe.

Species recorded from Sulawesi:
