ResumoAbstract The South American grasshopper genus Eurotettix (Melanoplinae, Dichroplini) from north‐eastern Argentina, southern Brazil and eastern Paraguay is revised. Cladistic analysis of the morphological and karyotypic characters indicates that the monophyly of Eurotettix is supported only weakly. Thus, Eurotettix is divided into two genera, and Dichromatos gen.n. is described for Eurotettix corupa Carbonell & Mesa, E. lilloanus Liebermann (type species), E. montanus Carbonell & Mesa and E. schrottkyi Rehn. Twelve species are recognized for Eurotettix with six described as new: E. concavus sp.n. , E. latus sp.n. , E. procerus sp.n. , E. brevicerci sp.n. , E. similraphael sp.n. and E. bugresensis sp.n. Keys to the species of the genera and a review of defining morphological characters are provided.
