Genus Ramulus Saussure, 1862 View in CoL
Type species. – Bacillus humberti Saussure, 1862: 472 [= Ramulus pseudoporus View in CoL (Westwood, 1859: 42, pl. 4: 6)], by original monotypy.
Comments. – This is one of the most speciose genera of Australasian Phasmatodea and due to intraspecific variability in ♀ and strong sexual dimorphism likely numerous synonyms have yet to be revealed. Therefore, the entire genus deserves a comprehensive revision at the species level. A list of all known Wallacean species was presented by Hennemann (2021: 69). The discovery of a new species described herein is the first record of Ramulus from Morotai and thus a range extension for the genus.
