A History of the PSG

The PSG was formed in 1980.  The first newsletter mentions that there were ten members.  The Group had grown to 26 members by the second newsletter, and by early 1982 the 100th member had joined.

Originally the PSG's logo was a drawing of a female Sipyloidea sipylus.  This was changed in March 1988 to the current one.    The logo is based on a drawing of a female Extatosoma tiaratum by Austin Crompton.  It was first published as just a drawing in PSG Newsletter 33:7 and was adopted as the new logo in the following Newsletter.

Details of the PSG publications can be found in the section on phasmid serials.
