Two new synonymies are proposed including Clitarchus multidentatus Brunner (syn. nov.) and Clitarchus tuberculatus Salmon (syn. nov.) as synonyms of Clitarchus hookeri (White). Clitarchus magnus Brunner, recorded from Thailand, is transferred to Ramulus Saussure and given the replacement name Ramulus changmaiense nom. nov. The holotype of C. multidentatus was recorded as being collected from New Caledonia; however we believe this is a labelling error and the specimen was collected from New Zealand. These taxonomic changes render Clitarchus endemic to New Zealand and consisting of three species; C. hookeri, C. rakauwhakanekeneke and C. tepaki.

However, our re-evaluation of the evidence provided for this placement reveals that Gallophasma does not possess any unambiguous synapomorphies with extant forms, e.g. neither with Euphasmatodea nor with the more inclusive Phasmatodea. The fusion of abdominal segment 1 with the metathoracic segment, a derived character state present in both Gallophasma and Euphasmatodea, shows fundamental structural differences, and cannot be homologized between both taxa. We argue that the presence of a well-developed, externally visible ovipositor and four-segmented cerci in Gallophasma can be interpreted only as plesiomorphic with regards to all extant Phasmatodea, or even to Phasmatodea plus its putative sister groups Embioptera or Orthoptera. Gallophasma does not belong to the stem lineage of recent Phasmatodea, and is referred to best as 'lower Neoptera' or Polyneoptera incertae sedis. Therefore, this fossil may be central to reconstructing the ground pattern of the aforementioned orthopteroid lineages, and to determining wing character polarity within Polyneoptera."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1365-3113.2010.00564.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000288449300002"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/23504"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","1365-3113"],["dc.relation.issn","0307-6970"],["dc.title","Stick insect on unsafe ground: does a fossil from the early Eocene of France really link Mesozoic taxa with the extant crown group of Phasmatodea?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Previous research showed that this clade also contained at least two of the nine New Zealand stick insect genera. We have constructed a phylogeny of the Lanceocercata using 2277 bp of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data to determine whether all nine New Zealand genera are indeed Lanceocercata and whether the New Zealand fauna is monophyletic. DNA sequence data were obtained from mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunits I and II and the nuclear large subunit ribosomal RNA and histone subunit 3. These data were subjected to Bayesian phylogenetic inference under a partitioned model and maximum parsimony. The resulting trees show that all the New Zealand genera are nested within a large New Caledonian radiation. The New Zealand genera do not form a monophyletic group, with the genus Spinotectarchus Salmon forming an independent lineage from the remaining eight genera. We analysed Lanceocercata apomorphies to confirm the molecular placement of the New Zealand genera and to identify characters that confirm the polyphyly of the fauna. Molecular dating analyses under a relaxed clock coupled with a Bayesian extension to dispersal-vicariance analysis was used to reconstruct the biogeographical history for the Lanceocercata. These analyses show that Lanceocercata and their sister group, the Stephanacridini, probably diverged from their South American relatives, the Cladomorphinae, as a result of the separation of Australia, Antarctica and South America. The radiation of the New Caledonian and New Zealand clade began 41.06 million years ago (mya, 29.05-55.40 mya), which corresponds to a period of uplift in New Caledonia. The main New Zealand lineage and Spinotectarchus split from their New Caledonian sister groups 33.72 (23.9-45.62 mya) and 29.9 mya (19.79-41.16 mya) and began to radiate during the late Oligocene and early Miocene, probably in response to a reduction in land area and subsequent uplift in the late Oligocene and early Miocene. We discuss briefly shared host plant patterns between New Zealand and New Caledonia. Because Acrophylla sensu Brock & Hasenpusch is polyphyletic, we have removed Vetilia Stal from synonymy with Acrophylla Gray."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1365-3113.2009.00505.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000275648300002"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/20309"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","1365-3113"],["dc.relation.issn","0307-6970"],["dc.title","The phylogenetic placement and biogeographical origins of the New Zealand stick insects (Phasmatodea)"],["dc.type","review"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Its most famous member is the Lord Howe Island stick insect Dryococelus australis (Montrouzier), which was believed to have become extinct but was rediscovered in 2001 and is considered to be one of the rarest insects in the world. To resolve the evolutionary position of Dryococelus, we constructed a phylogeny from approximately 2.4 kb of mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data from representatives of all major phasmatodean lineages. Our data placed Dryococelus and the New Caledonian tree lobsters outside the New Guinean Eurycanthinae as members of an unrelated Australasian stick insect clade, the Lanceocercata. These results suggest a convergent origin of the 'tree lobster' body form. Our reanalysis of tree lobster characters provides additional support for our hypothesis of convergent evolution. We conclude that the phenotypic traits leading to the traditional classification are convergent adaptations to ground-living behaviour. Our molecular dating analyses indicate an ancient divergence (more than 22 Myr ago) between Dryococelus and its Australian relatives. Hence, Dryococelus represents a long-standing separate evolutionary lineage within the stick insects and must be regarded as a key taxon to protect with respect to phasmatodean diversity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1098/rspb.2008.1552"],["dc.identifier.isi","000263148000010"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19129110"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/17160"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Royal Soc"],["dc.relation.issn","1471-2954"],["dc.relation.issn","0962-8452"],["dc.title","Extreme convergence in stick insect evolution: phylogenetic placement of the Lord Howe Island tree lobster"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Like many New Zealand phasmatodeans the known host plants of T ngatikuri include species of Myrtaceae. This genus appears to have an extremely limited geographic distribution and is known from only two specimens collected in the Te Paki / North Cape area at the northernmost tip of mainland New Zealand.
