Perez-Gelabert et al. (1998)
described this genus with two species:
Haitianotettix tuberculatus
Perez- Gelabert, Hierro and Otte, 1998 and
Haitianotettix monstruosus
Perez-Gelabert, Hierro and Otte, 1998
. These species were described based on nine males of
H. tuberculatus
and a single female of
H. monstruosus
(
Perez-Gelabert 2009
)
. However, new specimens from expeditions to the Hispaniola Mountains were sampled, and a female of
Haitianotettix
was found from the same region of the
H. tuberculatus
. The analysis of this female indicated that this specimen shared morphological similarities with
H. monstruosus
, so
Perez-Gelabert (2009)
synonymized
H. monstruosus
with
H. tuberculatus
.
Haitianotettix tuberculatus
differs from the cladonotines by its tuberculate surface, vertex with transversal carinula between the eyes, pronotum elevated only anteriorly, covering half of the abdomen, and hind femur with two tooth-like projections on median external area (
Perez-Gelabert 2009
;

).
