Obriminae

Therameninae Karny, 1923 The Obriminae are the most species-rich subfamily of the Phasmatodea family Heteropterygidae native to Southeast Asia.

In the introduction to his work he justified the renaming by saying that Brunner von Wattenwyl and Josef Redtenbacher[4] when naming the subfamilies they established – and as such he also considers the tribes described by both of them – not always taking into account the genera described first.

The sensory fields present in all Heteropterygidae are to be found in pairs in the Obriminae in the front area of the prosternum.

In adult females the abdomen is widened and significantly increased by the eggs that are permanently and often produced in large numbers.

It is ventral formed from the eighth abdominal sternite, which is here named subgenital plate,[12] or also called operculum.

[9][13][14][15][16] The body is often covered with numerous spines, more or less blunt thorns or tubercles, which can be found mainly on the upper side of the head and thorax.
