Phryganistria is a genus of stick insects belonging to the subfamily Clitumninae, native to Mainland Southeast Asia, including Yunnan China, central Vietnam and Bangladesh. The species in this genus have been subject to revision, with several being reassigned to the related Neophryganistria.
As with other genera in the tribe Pharnaciini, Phryganistria stick insects are notable for their range in size from "fairly large to very large", and amongst the world's longest stick insects (which also makes it the longest known insects).
