Cubanotettix Perez-Gelabert, Hierro and Otte, 1998

Fig. 8

This genus has only one known species, Cubanotettix turquinensis Perez-Gelabert, Hierro and Otte, 1998 from Cuba. It is distinguished from other Cladonotinae by antennae with 10–11 segments, eyes lower than level of vertex, relatively more slender scutellum of fascial carinae and a pronotum shorter than the abdomen ( Perez-Gelabert et al. 1998; Fig. 8 A–D). The holotype was collected on “ 16–21 vi 1936 ” in an area with an altitude of “ 3.000 –6.000 ft ”. However, the holotype label has different data: it was collected on “ June 18–20, 1936 ” in an area with an altitude of “ 4.500 –6.000 ft ”. This latter information coincides with the data of the seven paratypes mentioned by the original authors ( Fig. 8E ).
