Antillotettix Perez-Gelabert, 2003

The genus Antillotettix comprises two species from the Dominican Republic: an extant species A. nanus Perez-Gelabert, 2003 and the fossil A. electrum † Heads, 2009 ( Cigliano et al. 2018). This genus is distinguished from other cladonotines by its relatively much smaller body size (4 to 7 mm); rounded body shape; coarsely granulose integument; 10-segmented antennae; not widely bifurcated fascial carinae; anterior margin of pronotum tectate, elevated only slightly above the head; and pronotum extending over half to 3⁄4 of the abdomen ( Perez-Gelabert 2003). Antillotettix electrum is distinguished from A. nanus by antennae almost twice as long than fore femur, less granulose body, diminutive pronotum and smaller humeral sinus ( Heads 2009). Both A. nanus and A. electrum have the posterior margin of the pronotum with slight medial notch (op. cit).
