Hennemann, Frank H. & Conle, Oskar V., 2024, Studies on Neotropical Phasmatodea XXVI: Taxonomic review of Cladomorformia tax. n., a lineage of Diapheromerinae stick insects, with the descriptions of seven new genera and 41 new species (Phasmatodea: Occidophasmata: Diapheromerinae), Zootaxa 5444 (1), pp. 1-454 : 98

16. Lanceobostra tuckerae sp. n. ( Figs. 37G , 38M , 39U–V )

Remarks: For type data see description below.

Distribution: W-Mexico, Jalisco, 5.2 miles W of San Andres, 5400 feet [UMMZ].

The following three species are attributed with doubt and their generic affiliation must therefore remain as incertae sedis, since the type specimens are not traced or were not examined for the present study and the very brief original descriptions do not allow a confirmed generic assignment. They are excluded from the keys below.
