A new genus and species of Elcanidae (Insecta: Orthoptera) is described from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Elcanonympha diana gen. et sp. nov. is known from a single, complete nymph and is distinguished from other elcanids by the pronotum cut by a single transverse sulcus, the dorsal margin of the metafemoral genicula with a row of prominent apical denticles, and the distal third of the metabasitarsus bearing a row of apically directed scale-like spines on the ventral surface.
从白垩纪中期缅甸琥珀中描述了埃尔卡科（昆虫纲：直翅目）的一个新属和新种。新属新种戴安娜埃尔卡若虫（Elcanonympha diana gen. et sp. nov.）仅由一个完整的若虫标本所知，它与其他埃尔卡科昆虫的区别在于，前胸背板被一条横向沟切断，后股节膝部的背缘有一排突出的顶端小齿，后跗节基部第三节腹面有一排顶端指向的鳞片状刺。
