LOPEZ-MORA, Ulises  e  LLORENTE-BOUSQUETS, Jorge. Checklist and illustrated key of the Phasmatodea (Insecta) genera from Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2018, vol.89, n.1, pp.46-78. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ib.20078706e.2018.1.2175.

The order Phasmatodea has been poorly studied in Mexico, and it does not exist any work that lists its species in the country or any identification key to genus level. In this work we carried out an exhaustive bibliographic revision to obtain the list of species of Phasmatodea that occur in Mexico. A total of 17 genera and 65 species of Phasmatodea were registered for the Mexican territory. An illustrated identification generic key with its respective terminological glossary is provided.
