Abstract
The Hispaniolan fauna of Acridoid grasshoppers is highly endemic and much more diverse than previously recognized. Three new genera and seven new species of Acridoid grasshoppers are here described and illustrated, mainly from subtropical dry forest populations in southwestern Dominican Republic, West Indies. The affinities of these new genera to other neotropical grasshoppers are unclear. They seem to be representatives of a "primitive" grasshopper fauna indigenous to the Caribbean. /// La fauna de saltamontes Acridoideos de la Hispaniola es altamente endémica y mucho más diversa de lo que se conocia. Tres nuevos géneros y siete nuevas especies de saltamontes Acridoideos son aquí descritos e ilustrados, principalmente a partir de poblaciones del bosque seco subtropical en el suroeste de la República Dominicana, Indias Occidentales. Las afinidades de estos nuevos géneros a otros saltamontes neotropicales no son claras. Estos parecen ser representantes de una fauna "primitiva" de saltamontes indígena del Caribe.
