Among clinocerines, Trichoclinocera is distinguished by the presence of setae on vein R 1. This species is distinguished readily by its dorsoventrally flattened tarsomeres 4 and 5, convex face and small eyes (Figs 4, 5). Distribution. Holarctic species known from northern Finland and Sweden as well as it is widespread throughout the arctic region of North America (Sinclair 1994); recorded for the first time from the territory of Russia. Habitat. On Wrangel Island, this species was collected mainly on pebble floodplains, near water. : Published as part of Shamshev, Igor V., Sinclair, Bradley J. & Khruleva, Olga A., 2020, The empidoid flies (Diptera: Empidoidea, exclusive of Dolichopodidae) of the Russian Arctic islands and Svalbard Archipelago, pp. 1-75 in Zootaxa 4848 (1) on page 10, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4848.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4406987 : {"references": ["Ringdahl, O.
