(Figs. 2, 32, 50, 72)

Strongylophthalmyia palpalis Papp in Papp et al. 2006: 168 . Iwasa & Evenhuis 2014: 103.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to S. sumatrana, n. sp. based on the yellowish to reddish brown thorax and modified male palpus, but S. palpalis can be differentiated by the spheroid male palpus (Fig. 2) in (the palpus is flared apically and rounded but not spherical in S. sumatrana), and the fore femur (Fig. 72) dorsally has 2 long thorn-like spicules subbasally and 10–12 slightly shorter black spicules medially (2 long spicules basally and 5 short spicules apically in S. sumatrana). The description in Papp et al. (2006: 168) gives excellent characters to identify this species. Photos of the antenna (Fig. 32) and wing (Fig. 50) are added here to further aid in its identification.

Remarks: Specimens of this species were unavailable for study. For a full description of this species, see Papp in Papp et al. (2006: 168).

Distribution: Thailand.
