Electrotettix is an extinct genus of pygmy locust found in amber collected in the Dominican Republic. Represented by a single species, Electrotettix attenboroughi, which lived 18-20 million years ago, it fed primarily on moss, fungi, and algae. The genus name is derived from electrum, Latin for "amber", and Greek tettix, meaning "grasshopper". The species was named after Sir David Attenborough. The female measures 8 millimeters in length: the male is unknown. The species is distinguished from modern members of the Cladonotinae subfamily by the fact that it retains vestigial wings, a feature lost somewhere between the ancient specimens and more modern species. E. attenboroughi was identified from a collection of amber at the Illinois Natural History Survey, which had been stored in a cabine

Representado por una sola especie, Electrotettix attenboroughi, que vivió hace 18-20 millones de años, se alimentaba principalmente de musgo, hongos y algas. El nombre del género se deriva de electrum, que en latín significa "ámbar", y del griego tettix, que significa "saltamontes". La especie recibió su nombre de Sir David Attenborough. La hembra mide 8 milímetros de largo y el macho se desconoce. La especie se distingue de los miembros modernos de la subfamilia Cladonotinae por el hecho de que conserva vestigios de alas, una característica perdida en algún lugar entre los especímenes antiguos y las especies más modernas.
