Description

Orthelimaea is now considered a separate genus in the tribe Elimaeini, having been described as a subgenus of the genus Elimaea.[1] 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).[3]
