Type material
Holotype male: Thailand: Nan Prov., Doi Phu Kha NP, 19°12'418"N, 101°4'809"E, 1326 m, MT, 15-22 Sept. 2007, Charoen & Nikom, T3217 (QSBG).
Diagnosis
Loboscelidia fulva is one of five species with a straight medial vein, including Loboscelidia meifungae, Loboscelidia maculata, Loboscelidia ora and Loboscelidia defecta. It can be distinguished from Loboscelidia ora and Loboscelidia maculata by having notauli, from Loboscelidia defecta by having the cu-a vein one-half or more as long as R and Cu+M as long as A, and from Loboscelidia meifungae by the rectangular frontal projection, Rs about 3× as long as R and the scutellum coarsely areolate (smooth to longitudinally striate in Loboscelidia meifungae).
