Species

Within the genus Phyllium, apart from Phyllium itself, the subgenus Pulchriphyllium established by Griffini in 1898 has been differentiated.[4][5] Two further subgenera, Comptaphyllium and Walaphyllium, were described in 2019 and 2020. Since 2021, all three subgenera have been regarded as separate genera.[6] The genus includes the following species:[3][7]
