Description
''Orthelimaea'' is now considered a separate genus in the tribe Elimaeini, having been described as a subgenus of the genus ''Elimaea (katydid), Elimaea''. Species in this genus are characterised by the straight fore femora, whereas those of ''Elimaea'' and the genus ''Ectadia'' are "more or less curved". Ovipositors of the latter genera are similar, but are quite dissimilar in the type species of ''Orthelimaea'', where the ovipositor has much larger denticles (tooth-like projections).Gorochov AV (2009) New and little known katydids of the tribe Elimaeini (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Phaneropterinae) ''Trudy Russk.
