Brasidas foveolatus

Brasidas foveolatus is a species of stick insects from the family Heteropterygidae native to the Philippine archipelago Mindanao.

[2][3] Josef Redtenbacher described this species as Obrimus foveolatus in 1906 based on the only known male originally deposited in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris.

[2] James Abram Garfield Rehn and his son John William Holman Rehn transferred the species in 1938/39 to their newly created genus Brasidas, which they distinguished from the newly described genus Euobrimus (now synonym of Brasidas) by the semicingulate (= "half-girdled") metasternal holes, in which these were described as cingulate (= "girdled").

They also described the subspecies Brasidas foveolatus asper based on a single male collected by Baker in Davao on Mindanao.

This also applies to the breeding strain of Mount Apo, which is maintained by the Phasmid Study Group under the PSG number 301 until mid-2024.
