stranissimo fasmide

ragazzi,mi dovete aiutare ad identificare questo strano fasmide,vorrei capire se qualcuno lo vende o lo alleva

Il fasmide si chiama Conlephasma enigma sp. n. e questo è il riassunto della relazione scientifica di presentazione (le lettere sp. n. significano
proprio che si tratta di una nuova specie):

A new genus and species of stick insect is described and figured from Mount Halcon, on the
Philippine island of Mindoro. Conlephasma enigma gen. et sp. n. is a stout, flightless, and
apparently ground-dwelling species with vivid integumental colors. When disturbed,
specimens spray a defensive secretion from the prothoracic exocrine glands. The
systematic position of Conlephasma within Euphasmatodea is unclear. The elongated
galealobulus and the trichome area located laterally in the galea, represent unusual
apomorphic characters of the maxilla that could indicate affinities with Necrosciinae or
Pseudophasmatinae. All tibiae exhibit the anareolate condition. Euplantulae are of two
types: those of tarsomeres I–IV feature a nubby microstructure, whilst the one on the
ventral side of the pretarsus is smooth. Males are characterized by the presence of a welldeveloped
vomer on the tenth abdominal segment. A distinctive and apomorphic trait of
female terminalia is represented by the elongated tenth abdominal tergum. Conlephasma
can represent an interesting taxon for studies on the evolution of the stick and leaf insects.
