Pylaemenes sepilokensis is a species of stick insects (Phasmatodea) that is found in Borneo, more precisely in the Malay state of Sabah.

This coloring and the strongly structured body surface ensure a phytomimesis in which the animals resemble the bark of trees.

[5] Pylaemenes sepilokensis has been found at various locations in Sandakan District, mostly in the Sepilok Forest Reserve.

[6] Since the corresponding work appeared only a few days after the publication of Bragg's description, the three subspecies of Datames borneensis, among other things, have not yet been considered here.

Both the male holotype and female paratype were collected by Seow-Choen and Olivia Seow Wen in Kinabalu National Park in September 2011.

[1][3] In a molecular genetic study published in 2021, two samples referred to as Pylaemenes sepilokensis from different localities in Sabah, namely Sepilok and Tawau, were determined to be non-conspecific.

[8] Pylaemenes sepilokensis was first collected for terraristics by Mark Bushell in the summer of 2001 in Borneo, more precisely near Sepilok, and brought to Europe.

[4][9] In addition to a breeding stock from Sepilok, there is another from Tawau, which has also been referred to as Pylaemenes sepilokensis, but must be assigned to a separate species.

[8] In contrast to most other Datamini, hazel, bramble or other Rosaceae are not suitable as fodder plants in the long term.
