The present paper recounts the vicissitudes that led to the discovery of new taxa in the 1980s; provides an outline of their distribution, with notes on the relationships between the different species and a further account of their reproduction modes. Finally, excursions to the Iblean region (south-eastern Sicily) and Marettimo Island (Egadi Archipelago) are described, and future trips and study projects are suggested.10aAmphigonic10aAndrogenesis10aBacillus10aBiodiversity10aEndemic10aExtinction10aGynogenesis10aHybrid10aHybridogenesis10aIblean region10aParthenogenesis10aRearing10aSicily10aSpecies uhttp://phasmid-study-group.org/content/brief-contribution-history-genus-bacillus-sicily
