1F0B87C6C97FFFC1FF47FD46FF44FE7D.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: The new species is similar to Platypalpus hamatus Yang & Yang from Tibet, but it can be separated from the latter by the mesonotum with a narrow mid-longitudinal stripe and the left epandrial lamella with a weak basal process with a brush of long bristles. In P. hamatus, the mesonotum has a rather wide mid-longitudinal stripe and the basal process of the left epandrial lamella is bare (Yang & Yang, 1989).	en	Yang, Ding, Li, Weihai (2011): New Platypalpus Macquart from Hubei, China (Diptera, Empidoidea, Hybotidae, Tachydromiinae).
