Stick insects in New Zealand are found in a range of different environments, from cold high alpine areas to dry coastal bush. There are currently 23 different species described, from 10 genera {{harv|Landcare Research}}. The most common species of the stick insect in New Zealand is the smooth stick insect (Clitarchus hookeri) {{harv|Salmon|1991}}.

Following {{harvtxt|Günther|1953}}, the New Zealand stick insects are placed into the subfamilies Phasmatinae (tribe: Acanthoxylini) and Pachymorphinae (tribe: Pachymorphinini). Classification and identification is based on {{harvtxt|Jewell|Brock|2002}}.
