New tribe Epitettigini trib. n. is proposed for five genera with uncertain tribal position within subfamily Cladonotinae. It consists of the genera Epitettix Hancock, 1907, Devriesetettix Tumbrinck, 2014, Ingrischitettix Tumbrinck, 2014, Pseudohyboella Günther, 1938, and Yunnantettix Zheng, 1995. New tribe is most similar to the leaf-like tribe Cladonotini but differs from latter in the not leaf-like body, straight or weakly triangular anterior margin of the pronotum, which never covered head in dorsal view, the lacking of true scutellum, the upper and lower carinae of the fore and mid femora straight or weakly sinuate, and the third tarsal segment of the hind legs considerably shorter than first one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
