Lonchodidae[1] is a family of stick insects, with more than 150 genera and 1,000 described species.[2]
The subfamilies Necrosciinae and Lonchodinae, formerly part of Diapheromeridae, were determined to make up a separate family and were transferred to the re-established family Lonchodidae in 2018.[3]
