Currently known as Erynecroscia nigrofasciata, it is an insect of the Phasmatodea order of the Diapheromeridae family. Adult animals are until 12 cm long and have a wingspan of 13 cm.
The first description was under the name Tagesoidea nigrofasciata, attributed in 1908 by Redtenbacher. The new classification at Eurynecroscia genus was released in 2013 by Hennemann & Conle. It is still easy to find it under its old scientific name. In English, its common name is "Yellow Umbrella Stick Insect" and "Yellow Fan Stick Insect", both used by insect collectors.
Its distribution area is among the Tapah Hills, in Peninsular Malaysia. Only the Orang Asli (local indigenous population) know where to find these animals among the Tapah Hills. There are no known subtypes of Eurynecroscia nigrofasciata.
