Genus Epitettix Hancock, 1907

Type species: Epitettix punctatus Hancock, 1907 , by original designation.

Composition. The genus includes eleven species distributed in Malaysia (Borneo), Indonesia (Java), Papua-New Guinea, Vietnam, India and Madagascar ( Blackith, 1992; Eades et al., 2014). Originally, Epitettix included only E. punctatus Hancock, 1907 from North Borneo ( Hancock, 1907). Acridium emarginatum Haan, 1843 was described from New Guinea ( Haan, 1843), but later transferred to Epitettix by Willemse (1928). Four species ( Epitettix fatigans Günther, 1938 , E. humilicolus Günther, 1938 , E. lativertex Günther, 1938 and E. tumidus Günther, 1938 ) were described from Papua-New Guinea ( Günther, 1938). Later the same author described E. elytratus Günther, 1939 and E. tamilus Günther, 1939 from India, E. dammermanni Günther, 1939 from Java ( Günther, 1939), and E. spheniscus Günther, 1974 from Madagascar ( Günther, 1974). Finally E. striganovae Storozhenko, 2012 was described from Vietnam ( Storozhenko, 2012).
