Brasidas foveolatus is a species of stick insects from the family Heteropterygidae native to the Philippine archipelago Mindanao.
In habitus the species corresponds to typical representatives of the Obrimini. As with all Brasidas species, Brasidas foveolatus has a pair of characteristic holes in the metasternum. As with Brasidas cavernosus and Brasidas samarensis, these are only formed as flat pits surrounded on the outside by a fold and a row of grains. The females of the species are not known. The only known male is 63.5mm long. There are a pair of spines on the second, third and fourth tergum of the abdomen.
Josef Redtenbacher described this species as Obrimus foveolatus in 1906 based on a male originally deposited in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris. James Abram Garfield Rehn and his son John William Holman Rehn transferred the species in 1938/39 along with another, already described species to the newly established genus Brasidas. In this they not only described four additional new species, but also the subspecies Brasidas foveolatus asper based on a single male. This male was deposited as holotype of the subspecies in the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.. It differs from the type specimen of the nominate subspecies, which is now considered missing, in particular by the structuring of pro- and mesonotums, e.g. in the expression of thorns and tubercles. Frank H. Hennemann synonymized these subspecies in 2023 with Brasidas lacerta.
All specimens previously introduced, kept and distributed under the name Brasidas foveolatus were identified by Hennemann in 2023 as representatives of Brasidas lacerta. This also applies to the breeding stocks maintained by the Phasmid Study Group under PSG number 301.
