Guntheritettiginae is a subfamily of groundhoppers (Orthoptera: Caelifera) erected by Cadena-Castañeda et al. in 2025.[1]

The subfamily and type genus Guntheritettix were named in honour of Klaus Günther, an authority on Tetrigidae, who had originally placed G. formidabilis in the genus Notocerus.[1]
