Male 
Viewed dorsally eyes large, lateral margins 
slightly convex. Greatest head width fractionally 
narrower than pronotal humeral width, 6.8x 
anterior width of vertex and almost 3x median 
head length. Synthlipsis 0.4x anterior width of 
vertex. Median head length 0.8x median pronotal 
length. Pronotal width 2.12x median length, lateral 
margins diverging, posterior margin laterally 
deeply concave, medianly deeply emarginate. 
Facial tubercle slightly raised. Median labral length 
equal to basal width, distally broadly rounded with 
sparse fine hairs. Chaetotaxy of front leg (Figure 
18) tarsus with a prominent proximal spine. 
Stridulatory comb small with ca. 13 even-sized 
pegs (Figure 20). Rostral prong (Figure 19). 
Females 
Greatest head width narrower than pronotum 
and 5.75x anterior width of vertex and 3x median 
head length. Synthlipsis 0.4x anterior width of 
vertex. Median head length 0.67x median pronotal 
length, pronotal width 2.2x median length, lateral 
margins strongly divergent, posterior margin 
similar to male. 
Remarks 
Brooks (1951) described elstoni from various 
localities in Australia and China, Suifu, Szechwan. 
Anisops depressa Lansbury from Irian Jaya appears 
to be a synonym of elstoni (Lansbury 1978). The 
form from southwestern Australia differs from the 
'typical form' by its larger size, 5.8: 4.5-5.0 mm, 
absence of the depressions on the male pronotum 
and the slightly larger more robust rostral prong.
