Male terminalia large with transverse ninth tergum, elongate gonocoxite bearing two terminal gonostyles, and straight and short aedeagus. Ovipositor elongate and sclerotized with strongly raised apex of cercus.</p><p>Larva depressed dorsoventrally. Head capsule heavily sclerotized, with complete hypostoma.

Spiracular field surrounded by four lobes.</p><p>Pupa with large, ear-shaped pronotal horns. Sheaths of legs reaching sixth abdominal segment. Abdomen with dorsal and ventral transverse rows of spines.</p><p>Savchenko (1989) placed the genus Elliptera into the tribe Antochini based only on adult characters. Phylogenetic relationships of the family Limoniidae, including Elliptera, based on larval and pupal characters were analyzed by Oosterbroek &amp; Theowald (1991), using a nonquantitative analysis. The final tree placed Elliptera as the sister group to the unresolved Atypophthalmus - Discobola lineage based on the presence of larval creeping welts on abdominal segments 2–4 in these genera, with the genus Antocha Osten Sacken, 1860 placed as sister group to the rest of the Limoniinae based on a weak synapomorphic character of oblong-shaped, obliquely placed spiracles (spiracles lost in Antocha).</p><p>Key to the East Palaearctic larvae of the genus Elliptera</p><p>1.
