Falconius elephant Storozhenko, 2017 View in CoL

Type material not examined, but the drawings of the holotype female (deposited in ZIN) in the original paper (Storozhenko 2017) were examined.

Type locality: Cambodia: Dâmrei (Elephant Mountains): village Styeng-Chkhral.

Notes. After examination of drawings and description, we conclude that the species really belongs to the genus Falconius (evidenced by the high position of the bifurcation, lateral ocelli, and antennal grooves, as well as swollen distal segment of the hind femora in female holotype), and is unique among the congeners in short tooth-like ventrolateral projection.
