Abstract
Eutettix latoides sp. n., is described from central Wisconsin. It most closely resembles the Californian species Eutettix latus Hepner, and was collected from Quercus ellipsoidalis.
Highlights
The genus Eutettix Van Duzee pertains to the deltocephaline tribe Athysanini, the largest tribe of the family, which defies easy diagnosis
Hepner (1942) provided the first and only revision of the species of the United States, describing 18 new species, three new subspecies, three new synonyms, and descriptions and genitalic photographs of all species. He listed five species that did not belong to Eutettix but retained them in the genus for convenience until their generic affinities were better understood – all have since been reassigned to other genera, including one to the genus Ollarianus Ball, under which one current Eutettix species (E. rubianus [Ball]) was originally described
The holotype is deposited in the United States National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC (USNM)

In the current work a new species of Eutettix is described, bringing the total number of Nearctic species to 50
