Phyllium is the largest and most widespread genus of leaf insects in the family Phylliidae (Phasmatodea). They can be found in Sundaland, Philippine Islands, Wallacea, and Australasia.

Species

Within the genus Phyllium, apart from Phyllium itself, the subgenus Pulchriphyllium established by Griffini in 1898 has been differentiated. Two further subgenera, Comptaphyllium and Walaphyllium, were described in 2019 and 2020. Since 2021, all three subgenera have been regarded as separate genera. The genus Phyllium includes the following species: ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Phyllium_ericoriai_-_female.JPG" caption="''[[Phyllium ericoriai]]'' female"] ::
