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.
