Due to its extreme variability, and the nymphs being spinier than to the adults, the species has been described under other names, resulting in a total of seven synonyms.

The more vividly marked and variable females can show bright, mostly greenish, areas particularly on the lateral and rear edge of the metanotum.

Occasionally females occur with a wide, white, longitudinal band over the entire body on a brown background, complemented by the black spots on the eighth abdominal segment.

The dorsal area is bulging and the lid (operculum), which is always dark gray in color, sits on the egg sloping towards the ventral side, so that an opercular angle of around ten degrees is created.

[6] James Abram Garfield Rehn and his son John William Holman Rehn transferred both species to the newly created genus Euobrimus in 1938/39 and described five new species in it, including Euobrimus dohrni, which is the basis for the description of the two pairs from Mindanao mentioned by Dohrn.

[2] Frank H. Hennemann synonymized the genus Euobrimus with Brasidas in 2023 and clarified the status of the syntypes that belong to three different species.

The juvenile holotype of Brasidas acanthoderus is located in the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ) of Harvard University in Cambridge.

The specimens of Euobrimus dohrni examined by Dohrn and named after him are deposited as syntypes in the Museum and Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (MIZ) in Warsaw.

They were collected by Joachim Bresseel, Mark Bushell and Ellen Caluwé on the island of Mindanao in Nabunturan and at Lake Agko near Mount Apo.

[citation needed] A stock collected in 2011 by Thierry Heitzmann on Mount Pulog in Luzon, Sorsogon Province, was initially identified as Euobrimus lacerta.

[1][10][11] Brasidas lacerta can easily be fed with leaves of bramble and other Rosaceae, as well as hazel, oak, ivy or Hypericum.

In order to enable eggs to be laid, the floor of the terrarium should be covered a few centimeters high with a slightly moist soil substrate.
