Before our study, Elgiva was known from China. Rozkošný & Knutson (1991) described Elgiva manchurica as a new species from China on the basis of a male from Harbin, Heilongjiang Province (Palearctic Region of China). In our study we did not find E. manchurica, but we found 2 males and 3 females, also from Heilongjiang, which belong to 2 other species, E. solicita (Harris, 1780), and E. divisa (Loew, 1845), both new to China.

Specimens examined. E. solicita: 2♀, CHINA, Heilongjiang, Dailing, 390 m, 1957. VII. 15, Shixiu Zhou (IZ- CAS). E. divisa: 2♂ 1♀, CHINA, Heilongjiang, Fujin, 1970. VIII. 14, collectors unknown (IZCAS).
