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).
