Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: Amphithemis curvistyla is known from Myanmar (e.g. Fraser 1936), where there are old records from three locations, Thailand (e.g. Asahina 1981, 1988; Hämäläinen and Pinratana 1999), where it has been recorded from Tak, Chaiyaphu and Nakhon Nayok, and from north Viet Nam (Asahina 1981, an old record). Prasad and Varshney (1995) list it from “India” without details, but R. Dow (pers. comm. 2008) is not aware of other records from India, although its occurrence in the northeast is certainly possible. Fraser (1936) lists it from Malaysia, this may be an error, as R. Dow (pers. Comm. 2008) is not aware of any subsequent records.

Population [top]
Population: This species appears to be scarce and/or under-recorded, and is certainly local in occurrence. There appear to be no records from Myanmar since the 1930s (but this probably just reflects the lack of sampling there since that time). There are only a few records from Thailand, and no recent records from India or Viet Nam.
Current Population Trend: Unknown
Additional data:
?Population severely fragmented: Unknown
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Little appears to have been recorded on the habitat or ecology of this species; Fraser (1936) states “nothing is known of its habits, but it probably breeds in marshes like others of the genus”.
Systems: Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The area the species has been collected from is being degraded and lost through development of the area.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: More data is needed on this species before effective conservation measures can be planned across most of its range. In Thailand the status of the three known locations needs to be checked and monitored.
