Diagnosis.
The new genus is distinguished from all other Cladonotinae by the presence of tegmina and vestigial hind wings. Frontal costa forked just superior of antennal torulae. Anterior margin of frons at frontoclypeal margin broadly emarginate. Antennal flagellomere 3 approximately half as long as other flagellomeres. Pronotum with distinct lobe superior to humeral sinus. Posterior margin of pronotum forming a slightly upturned, blunt acuminate process.
Etymology.
The genus-group name is a combination of electrum (Latin from Greek, meaning “amber”) and tettix (Greek, meaning “grasshopper”).
