Erianthus is a genus of grasshoppers restricted to Southeast Asia. They occur in Japan, northeast India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, South China including Hong Kong, and extend east to Sumatra.[citation needed] In the past some neotropical species were also included in the genus. They have narrow ranges and species are identifiable only by their characteristics of male and female genitalia.[1][2]

The genus was erected in 1875 by Swedish entomologist Carl Stål in his Observations Orthopterologiques.[3] Erianthus is the family Chorotypidae and is the largest genus in the subfamily Erianthinae by number of species.[4] The type species is Mastax guttata (now Erianthus guttatus).[5]
