This large walking-stick was described from Saipan, Marianas Islands, and I know of no other records. Fullaway reported it on coconut leaves in 1911 $ (1293) without name (merely "phasmid"). We saw coconut trees with ragged leaves, said to have been caused by the feeding of this insect when abundant. However, we found only an occasional specimen, and no significant injury being done. Some of the specimens that we collected were on Pandanus leaves.
