(2016) as follows: medium-sized with elongate body and sparsely pubescent metasoma. Integument dark brown or black, face, legs and parts of metasoma often predominantly light colored. Pubescence throughout short and scanty, except on thorax, where it is long and dense (Fig. 1B); plumose hairs behind orbits, on thorax, and partly also on legs and gastral sterna. Disk of labrum and clypeus sparsely covered with long, erect, bristle-like hairs. Clypeus with mid longitudinal carina except in E. magretti . Metasoma comparatively long and narrow, that of male even more slender with pointed apex, the intermediate and terminal segments cylindrical in cross-section. Integument well exposed under the short tomentum, terga not distinctly banded but posterior margins usually with narrow fringe of dense appressed pubescence; hair fringes of sterna longer, erect and plumose.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>Oriental and Palearctic regions.</p><p>Key to the species (based on males) of Indian Elaphropoda Lieftinck, 1966</p><p>The key is adapted and modified from Saini et al.
