Pylaemenes elenamikhailorum

Pylaemenes elenamikhailorum is a species of stick insects native in Sepilok on Borneo.

[1] The males are about 39 to 42 millimetres (1.5 to 1.7 in) long and, typical of the genus, are medium to dark brown in color.

In males of Pylaemenes elenamikhailorum the supra-antennals are present as clear spines and are slightly directed outwards.

As holotype is a male, as paratype is a female at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum at the National University of Singapore deposited.

[6] Since Tkacheva and Berezin found the species in Sepilok in 2013, they have successfully kept and bred it in the Moscow Zoo and since 2015 distributed it as a breeding stock.

In 2018 this came to Germany for the first time, where Daniel Dittmar initially parthenogenetically and since 2020 also sexually bred and distributed it.
