Members of the group are noted for their remarkable camouflage . Many species closely resemble fresh or dried leaves, including veins, various blotches and even bite marks.[1]
The Pseudophyllinae may be subdivided into the following tribes (the first 17 of which are sometimes grouped into the super-tribes: Pleminiiti and Pseudophylliti) and genera .[2] Some notable species are also listed here:
