Truncotettix Perez-Gelabert, Hierro and Otte, 1998

Fig. 17−18

Perez-Gelabert et al. (1998) described this genus with two species: T. fronterizus Perez-Gelabert, Hierro and Otte, 1998 ( Fig. 17) and T. interruptus Perez-Gelabert, Hierro and Otte, 1998 ( Fig. 18), both from Dominican Republic. This genus has a relatively very small body size among Neotropical cladonotines, and 12-segmented antennae and a tectiform pronotum with the anterior margin slightly produced over vertex in dorsal view ( Perez-Gelabert et al. 1998; Fig. 17, 18). The two species are very similar, but can be distinguished by posterior margin of pronotum, which presents a notch in T. fronterizus ( Fig. 17C) and is slightly truncated in T. interruptus ( Fig. 18C).
