Key to Elbenia species (males only)
( Figs. 2–4 View FIGURE 2 View FIGURE 3 View FIGURE 4 )
Nineteen species is known from this Southeast Asian genus. The male of E. dyscrita Karny , E. makilingae Hebard and E. manilensis Pictet are however not known. The females for most species of the genus are not known and as such, omitted from the key.
