Orthelimaea is a genus of Asian bush crickets in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. Species in this genus are found in India, Indo-China, and Malesia.
Description Orthelimaea is now considered a separate genus in the tribe Ducetiini, having been described as a subgenus of the genus 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.
