Do you have a source of taxonomy data for this species? I can't find anything about it, not even about the genus level. Posted 8 years ago

  My apology, Ferdy. It should have been Parorthomeria alexis and not Paraorthomeria alexis.
  It was previously a sub-genus under the genus of Orthomeria - Orthomeria (Parorthomeria) alexis but was elevated to a full genus in the book, A taxonomic guide to the stick insects of Borneo released this May 2016.
  
  This is the link to the species :
