Palpomyia multilineata Lutz, 1914: 93 ( Brazil).

Monohelea multilineata: Johannsen 1943: 781 (combination).

Monohelea (Allohelea) multilineata: Wilkening et al. 1985: 524 (Florida records).

Downeshelea multilineata: Wirth and Grogan 1988: 52 (combination); Borkent and Spinelli 2000: 47 (in Neotropical catalog; distribution); Borkent and Grogan 2009: 20 (in Nearctic catalog; distribution).

Discussion. This Neotropical species is known from Panama, Guyana, Brazil and Puerto Rico ( Borkent and Spinelli 2000). Wilkening et al. (1985) provided the first record of this species from the United States, a female from Lee Co., Sanibel Island, Florida collected during 1963 by G. Quinn (USNM).
