Description
1.3. Gignotettix Hancock, 1909
Gignotettix Hancock, 1909: 397, 1915: 62, Sandrasagara 1950: 136, Liang 1990: 213, Blackith 1992: 81, Yin et al. 1996: 872, Otte 1997: 21.
Type species. Gignotettix burri Hancock, 1909, by original monotypy.
Distribution and composition. Monotypic genus (including only G. burri) inhabiting the Central province of Sri Lanka (Pundaluoya and Ohiya).
Notes. The genus Gignotettix is one of the least studied Tetrigidae genera. Only a few specimens of its only species are known and its taxonomic position is thus not assessable. Tumbrinck doubts that this genus represents a synonym of Cladonotella Hancock, 1909 (Cigliano et al. 2020: scrutiny Tumbrinck 2016 under Gignotettix burri). We would not say that G. burri should be assigned to Cladonotella, but its position definitely requires attention in future.
