Additions to the reported Elimaea species (Orthoptera: Phaneropteridae: Phaneropterinae) from India Author Nagar, Rajendra Author Mal, Jhabar Author Swaminathan, R. text Zootaxa 2014 3860 6 536 546 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3860.6.2 53c52354-5a75-427f-b71c-212d3b901494 1175-5326 231080 D01B4001-3431-4E42-B95F-534AB8CC2957 Elimaea subcarinata (Stål, 1861) stat. rev. , see Ingrisch, 1998 ( Figs. 20–28 ) This species differs from Elimaea subcarinata Stal in some morphological parameters, which was initially reported by Ingrisch (1998) from his collections from Thailand / Indo-China region and kept under status review. After having studied this species collected from similar topographical area from the state of Meghalaya, India , we conform to Ingrisch’s description of this species as E . subcarinata sp. nov. The species essentially is smaller in body length up to genitalia than E . subcarinata , but the hind leg is longer. Likewise, the body length measured up to wing tip is more than that of E . subcarinata indicating longer hind wings in this species E . subcarinata sp. nov. , however, the tegmina length is shorter than E . subcarinata . Both the male and female specimens are in our repository/ museum. Since this species differing from E. subcarinata was quoted by Ingrisch (1998) , we only confirm the distinction. Material examined ( 2specimens ). Meghalaya: 6.vi.2013 Rajendra Nagar (Dawki); 4.vi.2013 Rajendra Nagar (Umiam) Male. Stridulatory file with 6–8 large and 2–11 minute teeth ( Fig.24 ); pronotum more or less parallel sided with short Y-shaped sulcus, lateral margin rounded ( Figs. 21, 22 ); tenth abdominal tergite apex broadly rounded; central area setose; epiproct tongue shaped, apex obtuse; cerci strongly curved, apical area compressed and twisted, apex acute ( Fig.23 ); sub-genital plate moderately curved dorsad, split into two obtuse lobes in approximately the apical third part ( Fig.20 ). FIGURES 20–28. Elimaea subcarinata sp. nov. 20 – 24 Male: 20. Sub-genital plate, 21. Pronotum (dorsal view), 22. Pronotum (lateral view), 23. Cerci, 24. Stridulatory file; 25 – 29 Female: 25. Sub-genital plate, 26. Cerci, 27. Gonangulum, 28. Ovipositor. Female. Tenth abdominal tergite with apex subtruncate; epiproct triangular, subgenital plate ( Fig.25 ) acutetriangular apex angularly excised with two short triangular lobes; cerci regularly curved, apex sub-obtuse ( Fig.26 ); gonangulum of ovipositor bulbous ( Fig.27 ), somewhat smaller than E . subcarinata and lies in a cleft between dorsal and ventral valves of ovipositor ( Fig.28 ).
