7F5C879CFFF2FFD8FC4C8CB2FD0EFDC0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. – A characteristic genus of the Empididae subfamily Hemerodromiinae with raptorial forelegs widely separated from the mid legs and fore femur bearing distinct regular rows of setae ventrally. Anaclastoctedon is distinguished from other Hemerodromiinae by the combination of (1) all long veins (R 2 + 3, R 4 + 5, M & CuA 1) linear, unbranched; (2) cell br longer than bm; (3) male genitalia strongly reflexed anteriorly over abdomen; (4) epandrium separate from hypandrium; (5) male cercus free, greatly enlarged, anteriorly or vertically projected, spade-like apically, usually with smaller pointed internal process basally; (6) postpedicel of antenna short, almost globular with apical stylus at least 4 × as long and lacking basal article.	en	Plant, Adrian R.

7F5C879CFFF2FFD8FC4C8CB2FD0EFDC0.taxon	description	Description. – Head subspherical (Figs. 7, 8), somewhat dorsoventrally flattened with eyes widely separated on frons; narrowly separated on face in both sexes, widening towards mouth; anterior ommatidia slightly enlarged in both sexes. A pair of ocellar setae (usually with a few smaller setulae around ocellar protuberance) and pair of much smaller but distinct frontal setae mid way between prominent ocellar protuberance and base of antennae. One pair of distinct vertical setae situated close to eye margin. Postocular setae stout and erect, uniserial, situated some distance behind eye margin; uppermost postocular seta sometimes placed on slight lateral prominence of vertex between and at same level of verticals; series usually becoming weaker and sometimes 2 – 3 serial ventrally where sometimes merging into patch of finer setae on lower occiput and behind mouth. Mouthparts small; proboscis slightly anteriorly directed, no longer than head is deep, apically pointed. Labellum broadly ovate bearing fine setulae posteriorly. Palpus very small, longer than wide with fine but long setulae apically. Antenna with basal segments as long as wide; scape with distinct dorsal seta; pedicel with circlet of setae apically. Postpedicel at most 1.5 × long as wide (Fig. 3), almost globular but pointed apically, sometimes appearing rather narrower in lateral view. Stylus much longer than postpedicel (usually at least 4 × as long), not obviously swollen basally and rather thread-like, almost bare apart from sparse microscopic pile; basal articles apparently absent. Thorax. Moderately arched ventrally in profile (Figs. 7, 8). Postpronotum strongly developed, protuberant. Scutum with prescutellar depression broad; supraalar area sometimes outwardly produced with outer margin rather triangular in dorsal view. Usually two pairs of dorsocentral setae strongly developed, anterior pair in line with postpronota, other slightly anterior of position of notopleurals; often one or two pairs of minute dorsocentrals posteriorly. Supraalar very strong, postpronotal and upper notopleural present and usually strong. Lower notopleural weak or absent and usually one or more small setae between notopleural and postpronotal areas weaker still. A pair of scutellar setae present. Laterotergite bearing several setae. Legs with front coxa almost as long as thorax (Fig. 7); linear series of setae anteriorly, weak, becoming longer distally and with a few distinct setae at tip. Mid and hind coxae much shorter bearing a few setae laterally and apically in front. Front femur as long as front coxa, strongly inflated, much stouter than other femora, widest at middle; ventrally with double row of strong setae on distal 0.7 between which is double row of short peg-like denticles; dorsal and posterior faces with fine setae, anterior face almost bare. Front tibia slightly curved, geniculate at extreme base; ventrally with single row of minute adpressed denticles which articulate against corresponding double row of denticles on front femur when limb is reflexed; an apicoventral ‘ fan’ of minute setulae; otherwise with only short fine setulae and scattered perpendicular cilia (minute erect specialised setae of probable sensory function). Mid and hind femora and tibiae rather short bearing mostly short setae, longest dorsoapically on posterior femur and tibia and on mid tibia. Tarsomeres bearing short setulae; longest and strongest anteroventrally on distal segments of mid and hind legs but sometimes longish on front metatarsus. Front tarsomere 1 hardly longer than tarsomere 2, the segments becoming progressively and gradually shorter distally with tarsomere 5 slightly flattened and enlarged; mid and hind tarsal segments similar but tarsomere 1 longer than tarsomeres 1 and 2 combined. Male abdomen with tergites 2 – 6 broad, tergites 7 and 8 reduced. All segments with scattered fine setae and longer setae on tergite 5. Genitalia (Figs 1, 2, 4, 9 – 12) strongly reflexed forward (Fig. 7). Hypandrium greatly enlarged, broader than preceding segments of abdomen, with keel-like posterior margin, hypandrial lamellae partially separated posteriorly by narrow micropilose membrane; epandrium smaller, lamellae not fused posteriorly or with hypandrium. Cerci free, greatly enlarged, anteriorly or vertically projected, spade-like apically (Figs. 1, 2, 4, 9 – 11); usually with smaller pointed internal process basally (much reduced in A. sano new species). Phallus slender, strongly anteriorly directed; parameral sheath rather broad, often with complex hooked structures apically (Figs. 4, 9 – 12). Female abdomen with setae sparser and weaker. Cerci moderately long, dorsoventrally flattened (Fig. 8), appearing narrower in lateral view; bearing some short setae and some longer ones apically. Spermatheca spherical. Wing (Figs. 5, 6) narrow basally with axillary angle hardly developed. Vein C circumambient but weak beyond tip of R 4 + 5. Vein Sc fading apically; R 1 rather short, joining C just beyond end of basal cells. Radio-cubital praefurca short, linear, not fading basally at junction with R 1. Cell br longer than cell bm; cell bm quadrate apically with crossvein bmcu usually perpendicular (rarely somewhat acute); cell cup quadrate apically, slightly shorter than bm. Vein A 1 + CuA 2 short, continuing beyond posteroapical margin of cell cup but terminating well before wing margin. Crossvein dm-cu absent (cell dm absent). Long veins (R 2 + 3, R 4 + 5 & CuA 1) linear, reaching wing margin; vein M usually linear, but occasionally vestige of M 2 present at wing margin but completely absent basally (Fig. 6). Marginal cilia short along costa, longer on posterior margin. Stigma absent. Basal costal seta present.	en	Plant, Adrian R.

7F5C879CFFF7FFD9FC4489E3FC04FE40.taxon	etymology	Etymology. – The specific epithet lek (Thai) means small and refers to the small size of this species.	en	Plant, Adrian R.

7F5C879CFFF7FFD9FC4489E3FC04FE40.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – Known only from northern Thailand on the upper slopes of Doi Inthanon, Chiang Mai Province above 1,700 m and from about 1,200 m on the mesa sandstone mountain Phu Kradueng in Loei Province. The Doi Inthanon sites were hill evergreen and moist hill evergreen forests while at Phu Kradueng, the habitat was ‘ thung’ (savannah grassland) mixed with Pinus. Capture dates range from late December to early May with peak adult activity in February and March coincident with cool dry becoming hot dry general climatic conditions although the high elevation and forest cover of the capture sites probably ensures moist rather cool conditions throughout the year. An apical remnant of vein M 2 is sometimes present at the wing margin, especially in examples from Loei. The cercus of the single male from Loei is of slightly different colour and shape to specimens from Chiang Mai but the differences are considered too small to warrant specific separation of the Chiang Mai and Loei populations.	en	Plant, Adrian R.

Cercus with major lobe gradually broadened distally, 6 – 7 stout black spines apically; basal lobe smaller, narrow. Parameral sheath (Figs. 11, 12) long, conspicuously free for most of its length, subapically with curving flattened plate-like lateral process from which projects dorsal recurved sharply pointed process; apical process almost detached from basal part, minutely serrate dorsally about base, broadening at tip. Wing membrane faintly yellowish, veins brownish-yellow; vein M 2 completely absent. Halter yellowish white. Female. Similar to male but abdomen darker brown, postpedicel darker and apicoventral seta on T 2 shorter. F 1 with denticles rather more numerous, about 15 in pv row.	en	Plant, Adrian R.
