Mucrotettigini View in CoL Cadena-Castañeda and Silva, n. trib.

Diagnosis. The Mucrotettigini n. trib. are distinguished from Choriphyllini n. trib. and some Xerophyllini by the absence of high and foliaceous crest on the pronotum. It distinguishes itself from Xerophyllini also by the same characters cited in the comparison of Choriphyllini n. trib.

Description. Body compact, not flattened laterally, rugose and granulose integument; head midsized, medial carina produced in lateral view, transversal carina developed as fastigial horns, fascial carinae arcuated (in lateral view) or widely forked (in frontal view); fastigium prominent above eyes (in lateral view); antennal groove situated below lower margin of compound eyes, and with 10 to 12 segments (only Mucrotettix Perez-Gelabert, Hierro and Otte, 1998 and Baeotettix Heads, 2009 with 14 segments); pronotum short, brachypronotal, slightly surpassing abdomen; pronotum slightly arcuate; median carina continuous; posterior margin of pronotum with diverse shapes, being truncated in most cases, with peculiar forms; lateral lobes directed downwards, close to the body (only in Armasius there is a spine and the lateral lobe of pronotum is projected sideways); broad infrascapular area, extending towards to posterior margin of pronotum in lateral view; tegmina and wing absent (the unique exception is the fossil of Electrotettix attenboroughi † Heads and Thomas, 2014 with tegmina and rudimentary hind wings ( Heads et al. 2014)); fore and middle femur margins undulated, hind femur robust; lappets and antegenicular tooth developed in the hind legs; first article of posterior tarsi as long as the third.

Type genus. Mucrotettix Perez-Gelabert, Hierro and Otte, 1998 View in CoL .

Distribution. Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Haiti, Puerto Rico and Brazil ( Hancock 1907; Perez-Gelabert et al. 1998; Perez-Gelabert and Otte 1999; Heads 2009; Perez-Gelabert 2009; Heads et al. 2014; Perez-Gelabert and Yong 2014; Yong 2017; Cigliano et al. 2018).
