This is a dark species with six distinct white wing spots and one faint subapical spot in cell r5, clasping cercus L-shaped and phallus with distiphallus arched, extending as membranous tube. Description (wing length 1.9 mm). Male. Head: Slender, tapered ventrally. Clypeus and face with greyish pruinescence, less dense below ocellar triangle; occiput with pruinescent sport near base. Ocellar triangle with pair of stout upturned setae. Antenna dark brown. Thorax: Scutum dark brown, somewhat shiny with faint pruinescent stripe along dc row. Pleura (partially obscured by legs) dark brown with whitish pruinescence. Several very minute acrostichals anterior to first dc; 5 dc; 1 pprn; 1 presut spal; 1 upper npl, lower npl very slender, short; 1 pal; 2 sctl, subequal in length with prescutellar dc. Laterotergite with several brownish setulae. Legs: Fore coxa, femora and tibiae yellow; mid and hind coxae brown; tarsi darkening apically. Wing: Narrow; infuscate; single long basal costal seta present; base of R4 arched, joining R5 at acutely; base of cell r4 tapered; R4 sinuous, with short auxiliary crossvein connecting to R2+3, shorter than length of base of R4; R2+3 long, ending in costa distal to base of R4; irrorations with 6 distinct spots: two spots in cell r2+3 (proximal section); one spot each in cells r4, m1, m2 and m4; faint subapical spot in cell r5. Halter pale yellow. Abdomen: Sclerites brown, shiny, concolourous with thorax. Terminalia (Fig. 2): Hypandrium subtriangular, with 3 lateral setae. Phallus slender, slightly arched; shaft with forked apex joined distiphallus; distiphallus with sclerotized dorsal margin, extending as membranous tube ending in balloon-like inflated membranous sac. Ejaculatory apodeme slender. Epandrium oval, with numerous long setae. Clasping cercus L-shaped, base shorter than upper lobe; apex rounded with inner peg-like seta. Cercal plate with 2 long setae. Lobe of subepandrial sclerite stout, extended beyond surstylus and epandrium. Surstylus slender, apex rounded, with marginal setae. Female. Unknown. Etymology. The species name is from the Latin curvatus (bent, bow), in reference to the strongly curved clasping cercus. Distribution. The only known specimen (holotype) of this species was collected at 1,600 m in Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park (Petchabun Range), northeast Thailand (Fig. 18).Published as part of Sinclair, Bradley J. & Plant, Adrian R., 2017, Dolichocephala Macquart of Thailand (Diptera: Empididae: Clinocerinae), pp. 551-568 in Zootaxa 4358 (3) on page 554, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4358.3.9, http://zenodo.org/record/106885

Description (wing length 1.7–1.9 mm). Male. Head: Slender, tapered ventrally. Clypeus and face with greyish pruinescence, extending dorsally as narrow stripe around ocellar triangle and joining to form “U” on upper occiput. Ocellar triangle with pair of stout upturned setae. Antenna brown. Thorax: Scutum yellowish brown, dull, with faint brownish medial stripe (Fig. 9). Pleura yellow with dark band along upper margin. Several very minute acrostichals anterior to first dc; 5 dc; 1 pprn; 1 presut spal; 1 upper npl, lower npl very slender, short; 1 pal; 2 sctl, shorter than prescutellar dc. Laterotergite with several brownish setulae. Legs: Coxae, femora and tibiae yellow, tarsi darkening apically. Wing (Fig. 8): Narrow; infuscate; single long basal costal seta present; base of R4 slightly arched, joining R5 slightly obliquely; base of cell r4 truncate; R4 nearly straight, with short auxiliary crossvein connecting to R2+3, shorter than length of base of R4; R2+3 long, ending in costa distal to base of R4; irrorations distinct (six spots): two spots in cell r2+3 (proximal section); one spot each in cells r4, m1, m2 and m4. Halter brown. Abdomen: Sclerites brown, shiny, darker than thorax. Terminalia (Fig. 1): Hypandrium subtriangular, with 2 lateral setae. Phallus robust, broad, wider than hypandrium, nearly straight, well sclerotized; distiphallus with sclerotized, cup-shaped cap, with balloon-like inflated membranous sac beneath cap. Ejaculatory apodeme slender. Epandrium subtriangular, with several long, stout marginal dorsal setae. Clasping cercus elongate along margin of epandrium; apex subtriangular, tapered to rounded apex, outer face with several long setae. Cercal plate with 2 long setae. Lobe of subepandrial sclerite stout, with forked and divergent apex, extended beyond surstylus and epandrium. Surstylus very slender, sharply tapered, slightly arched, without setae. Female. Similar to male. Cercus long, length about 2X basal width. Etymology. The species name is in reference to the pale pleura and darker scutum. Distribution. This species is only known from Doi Inthanon (Thanon Thongchai Range), Phu Hin Rong Kla (Petchabun Range) and Doi Phu Kha (Luang Prabang Range) in northern Thailand (Fig. 17).Published as part of Sinclair, Bradley J. & Plant, Adrian R., 2017, Dolichocephala Macquart of Thailand (Diptera: Empididae: Clinocerinae), pp. 551-568 in Zootaxa 4358 (3) on pages 552-554, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4358.3.9, http://zenodo.org/record/106885
