Original description: Elimaea fallax
Bey-Bienko 1951 Trud. Vsesoyuz. Ent. Obshch. 43: 130, figs. 1-2.
Primorsk Territory: Voroshilov-Ussuriisk,
3. VIII. 1929, l female (holotype) (L. Tokareva); Zarechye village,
near Posyet, 22. VIII. 1925, 1 female (Yu. Serebryanskii); Manchzhuria
[NE China], 3 males (D. Benkendorf). Close
related to Indo-Malayan E. chloris Haan and to E. berezovskii
B.-Bienko, sp. n., that is described below. It is green, antennae,
excepting basal segments, brown, with indistinct light rings, top
of head reddish. Pronotum cylindrical dorso-anteriorly, flattened
and dilated posteriorly, lateral lobes in length slightly more than
in height, not dilated posteriorly, with ventral margin almost arched,
longitudinal fold posterior of transversal groove lacking or substituted
by white band. Fore femur not sharply curved S-like in point of
view from above, ventral margins of fore and middle femora with
weak, rare, slightly visible spines, hind femur without spines ventrally
or with ones weak. Fore wings not very long, its width markedly
more than length of pronotum, length of fore wings as 4.7 times
as its maximal width, longitudinal and transversal veins grayish-red,
sharply marked on green ground color. RS divided from R distad of
l/3 of fore wing, RS with 2-3 short branches on top. Male with anal
plate lengthy-triangular with top around sharply angled. Male with
cerci long, thin, cylindrical, C-shaped curved one to another, before
top slightly dilated, top with flat pointed tooth. Male genital
plate very long, narrow, it as long as 2/3 of length of fore femora,
in distal half it divided on two narrow plate-like lobes, in basal
part it with well shaped keel along middle; female with genital
plate moderate lengthy-triangular, with obtuse angled hollow on
top. Ovipositor with dorsal margin on top markedly curved obliquely
ventrad toward to its end, top not sharply obtuse angled. Length
of body of male 17-18, female 21.5; pronotum of male and female
3.9-4; fore wings male and female 26.5-29; hind femora male and
female 19.5; ovipositor 6 ㎜. The new species sharply differs
from E. chloris Haan and from the new species described below
by shape of the lateral lobe on pronotum, by genital plate of male
longer and with very deep (up to middle) incision, by femora slightly
armed, by features of wing venation and details of cerci. On appearance
it very similar to Phaneroptera falcata Scop., and, undoubtedly,
it was mixed with him, but it sharply differs from the last by structure
of hearing organ on fore tibia. The founding in the
fauna of USSR of this representative of clearly topical genus is
interesting from the zoogeogaphical point of view and enriches our
fauna in the genus before unknown here. There are very desirable
an observation on biology and ecology of this species.
