This review resulted in identification of numerous substantial morphological features that suggest there are Melanesian clades that create polyphyletic groups within the phylliids which should instead be taxonomically recognized as unique. These rarer <jats:italic>Melanesia<\/jats:italic> species have historically been considered to be southern representatives of the <jats:italic>Pulchriphyllium<\/jats:italic> Griffini, 1898 sensu lato. However, there are notable morphological differences between the <jats:italic>Pulchriphyllium<\/jats:italic> sensu stricto and the \u201c<jats:italic>schultzei<\/jats:italic>\u201d group. Therefore, two new genera are erected, <jats:italic>Vaabonbonphyllium<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>gen. nov.<\/jats:bold> from the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea and <jats:italic>Rakaphyllium<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>gen. nov.<\/jats:bold> from New Guinea and the Aru Islands. Erection of these two new genera warrants the following new combinations: <jats:italic>Rakaphyllium schultzei<\/jats:italic> (Giglio-Tos, 1912), <jats:bold>comb. nov.<\/jats:bold>, <jats:italic>Rakaphyllium exsectum<\/jats:italic> (Zompro, 2001b), <jats:bold>comb. nov.<\/jats:bold>, and <jats:italic>Vaabonbonphyllium groesseri<\/jats:italic> (Zompro, 1998), <jats:bold>comb. nov.<\/jats:bold> Additionally, while reviewing material an undescribed <jats:italic>Vaabonbonphyllium<\/jats:italic> gen. nov. specimen was located and is herein described as <jats:italic>Vaabonbonphyllium rafidahae<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>gen. et sp. nov.<\/jats:bold> from Mt. Hagen, Papua New Guinea. Additionally, a morphologically unique clade of several species recovered as sister to the <jats:italic>Nanophyllium<\/jats:italic> sensu stricto was recognized and their numerous unique morphological features and monophyly leads the authors to erect the new genus <jats:italic>Acentetaphyllium<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>gen. nov.<\/jats:bold> which warrants the following new combinations: <jats:italic>Acentetaphyllium brevipenne<\/jats:italic> (Gr\u00f6\u00dfer, 1992), <jats:bold>comb. nov.<\/jats:bold>, <jats:italic>Acentetaphyllium larssoni<\/jats:italic> (Cumming, 2017), <jats:bold>comb. nov.<\/jats:bold>, <jats:italic>Acentetaphyllium miyashitai<\/jats:italic> (Cumming et al. 2020), <jats:bold>comb. nov.<\/jats:bold>, and <jats:italic>Acentetaphyllium stellae<\/jats:italic> (Cumming, 2016), <jats:bold>comb. nov.<\/jats:bold> With the addition of several new genera, a key to phylliid genera is included for adult males and females.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/zookeys.1110.80808","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,5]],"date-time":"2022-07-05T15:10:32Z","timestamp":1657033832000},"page":"151-200","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["\ufeffThree new genera and one new species of leaf insect from Melanesia (Phasmatodea, Phylliidae)"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"1110","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7930-1292","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Royce T.","family":"Cumming","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ste\u0301phane","family":"Le Tirant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"80808_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12862-022-02018-5"},{"key":"80808_B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s42003-021-02436-z"},{"key":"80808_B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1101\/2021.07.06.451325"},{"year":"2021","author":"Brock","key":"80808_B4"},{"key":"80808_B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5962\/bhl.title.5121"},{"key":"80808_B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rspb.2008.1552"},{"key":"80808_B7","first-page":"29","article-title":"The venation of the wings of the leaf-insect Pulchriphyllium crurifolium.
