Genus Aretaon Rehn & Rehn, 1939 View in CoL

Differentiation. – Distinguished from the exclusively Philippine Trachyaretaon Rehn & Rehn, 1939 by the lack of inter-posterior pronotal spines and anterior mesal metanotal spines as well as more distinct anterior mesonotals. Moreover, the vertex is much less convex and conical than in Trachyaretaon and rather flattened. The eggs differ by the broadened, angular and medially indented anterior end of the micropylar plate (narrow and rounded in Trachyaretaon ).

Remarks. – The numerous citations of Aretaon may be referred to in the Phasmida Species File (Brock P.D., Büscher T. & Baker E. Phasmida Species File Online. Version 5.0/5.0. [17.10.2023]. http:// Phasmida .SpeciesFile.org).
