cite Stål with an alleged assignment of the species to Hoploclonia. In fact, Stål only names their type species Hoploclonia gecko in this genus. Redtenbacher mentions 1906 neither the work of Kirby nor its genus assignment and treats the species as a representative of Hoploclonia. He again depicts a female of the species and names specimens from Westwood from the Hofmuseum Vienna (now the Natural History Museum in Vienna) as well as specimens from Borneo from the collection of Staudinger (probably Otto Staudinger) and his own collection as the material examined. Because Tisamenus draconina does not occur on Borneo, Bragg assumes in 1995 and 1998 that the material was at least partially confused or mixed with Hoploclonia cuspidata, although this was described by Redtenbacher in that same work using a female. In 1939, Rehn and Rehn cite Stål's correct assignment, but transfer the species to Hoploclonia, just like all other representatives of this genus, and synonymize Tisamenus with it. The Philippine representatives they lead in Hoploclonia divide them into different groups according to morphological aspects. In the so-called Draconina group, they placed with Hoploclonia draconina, as well as the newly described Hoploclonia hystrix (today Tisamenus hystrix) and Hoploclonia lachesis (today Tisamenus lachesis), very strongly spined, elongated and long-legged species. Up to 2004, Tisamenus draconina is continued in almost all works in Hoploclonia. It was Oliver Zompro who put it back in Tisamenus together with all the other Philippine representatives, thus following both Stål and Kirby's assignment. A female lectotype and a male paralectotype are found in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Apart from the information about the collector D. Cuming, both are missing further find information. They were selected as types by Bragg in 1995. Gallery References External links Phasmatodea Insects described in 1848
