Diapheromerinae is a subfamily of the stick insect family Diapheromeridae. They belong to the superfamily Anareolatae of suborder Verophasmatodea; the family contains the huge Paraphanocles keratosqueleton discussed under its obsolete name Bostra maxwelli and known as godhorse or hag's horse in Barbados. It belongs to the typical tribe of the Diapheromerini, it is known for its slow-moving stick-like appearance. In A-Z of Barbados Heritage, the species is discussed thus: Godhorse; the local name of unknown origin for the walking stick insect which may grow to 33 cm.... Many people are afraid of it, on the grounds that if given a chance, it will crawl into a human ear, though there is no record of any having done so. There is a superstitious belief that the presence of a godhorse around the house means a death will occur at the house, they are harmless to man but are disliked and Rev. Hughes common name of Hag's Horse conveys this. Three tribes are recognized in the Diapheromerinae. These, with some notable genera and species listed, are:Diapheromerini Zompro, 2001 Bactricia Kirby, 1896 Diapheromera Diapheromera femorata – common American walkingstick, northern walkingstick Megaphasma Caudell, 1903 Paraclonistria Paraphanocles Zompro, 2001 Pseudosermyle Caudell, 1903Ocnophilini Günther, 1953 Dubiophasma Exocnophila Ocnophila Ocnophiloidea ParocnophiliaOreophoetini Zompro, 2001 Oreophoetes Oreophoetophasma Carrington, Sean & Fraser, Henry C.: "Godhorse".
