Chitoniscus
Chitoniscus is a genus of leaf insects primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in Melanesia and Australia. They inhabit dense forests, where they can camouflage themselves among the foliage of various plant species. Countries such as Australia, Fiji, Solomon Islands and New Caledonia are known to be home to Chitoniscus species.
