Tegotettix armatus: Hancock 1913 , Günther 1937, 1938, Otte 1979, Blackith 1992.

Type material not examined, but the original description and Günther's (1937) drawings were. According to OSF, holotype male is deposited in Philadelphia.

Type locality: Malaysia: Borneo: Sarawak: Kuching.

Notes. This is the type species of the genus. Hitherto, Günther's (1937) drawing was the only reference point for identification of the species. Recently, a female specimen was discovered in Tumbrinck's collection (with data Borneo: Sabah: Poring 18.III.1996. Leg. (by fogging) A. Floren). Photographs of the specimen are uploaded to OSF and are now publicly available. The species has high fastigial horns, toothed margin of the vertex, low position of lateral ocelli, bifurcation and antennal grooves, long antennae, elevated FM+PM (fused projection), massive MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5 and MM6 (decreasing in size towards the apex), ML projection is present as strong triangular tubercle, MMLs are lower than MMs, widened and undulated fore and mid tibiae, armed with tubercles, fore and mid femora with strong and sharp teeth on both dorsal and ventral margins, hind femora reduced in size (probably the species is not good jumper) and armed with strong lappets on dorsal and ventral margin. Hind tibiae and tarsi are not lamellate. The species is related to T. bufocrocodil from Thailand.
