Comment: Eutettix is probably one of the most challenging leafhopper genera to distinguish individuals to species based on photographs. E. pictus is fairly distinct, as are some individuals of E. luridus that have a bold pattern. However, individuals that resemble luridus but with a redder, less bold pattern could represent other species. Eutettix is a genus in dire need of a revision, with the last one occurring in the 1940s. Only a handful of species are known well enough, while many species closely resemble others and therefore cannot be identified without a male being dissected. On top of that, there appears to be at least one undescribed member of this genus in our region and possibly others.

Due to these challenges within identifying some members of this genus without a male specimen that is dissected, and the fact that this genus is in dire need of a taxonomic revision, this page will serve as an umbrella for unidentified Eutettix.
