Hennemann, Frank H. & Conle, Oskar V., 2024, Studies on Neotropical Phasmatodea XXVI: Taxonomic review of Cladomorformia tax. n., a lineage of Diapheromerinae stick insects, with the descriptions of seven new genera and 41 new species (Phasmatodea: Occidophasmata: Diapheromerinae), Zootaxa 5444 (1), pp. 1-454 : 150

25. Phanocles remphan ( Westwood, 1859: 22, pl. 23: 4) [ Bacteria ]. HT, ♀: Colombia, Saunders; E Coll. (1839–73) W.W. Saunders, Purchased and pres. ’73 by Mrs F.W. Hope; Type — ♀ Westwood, Bacteria remphan, Cat. Phasm. 1859 p. 22 , pl. 23, fig. 4; Type Orth: 609, Bacteria remphan Westw., Hope Dept. Ent. Oxford [OUMNH, No. 609].

Remarks: Examination of the holotype from Colombia in OUMNH and comparison with B. baculus (Olivier) has shown B. remphan to represent a distinct species, hence it was synonymised with Bostra baculus ( Olivier, 1792) by Shelford (1913: 62) in error. The previously unknown ♂ is described below.

Distribution: Colombia [OUMNH]; W-Colombia, Valle del Cauca, Buenaventura [MEFLG].
