In the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC a male holotype, a female allotype and another adult couple and three nymphs are stored as paratypes.

As with all representatives of the genus Brasidas, this species also has a pair of characteristic holes in the metasternum.

[2] The occurrence of Brasidas samarensis is known so far limited to the Philippine island Samar, to which the specific epithet refers.

In the lateral view the ventral edge appears straight, while the dorsal area is bulbous.

[4][5] The first breeding stocks present in the enthusiasts' terrariums dates back to 2002 in specimens collected in Bobon.

So that the females can lay their eggs in the ground, a slightly moist substrate is necessary, which should cover the floor of the terrarium a few centimeters high.
