Parastratiosphecomyia stratiosphecomyioides  Parastratiosphecomyia stratiosphecomyioides is a species of fly in the family Stratiomyidae. It is native to Thailand. Its genus name comes from Ancient Greek, meaning "Near soldier wasp-fly", with its species name meaning "wasp fly-like". It is considered to be the animal with the longest valid scientific name; the name "Gammaracanthuskytodermogammarus loricatobaicalensis" was longer, but was suppressed and is no longer valid. "P. stratiosphecomyioides", sometimes referred to as the Southeast Asian soldier fly, was described in 1923 by British entomologist Enrico Brunetti. Given its wasp-like appearance, "P. stratiosphecomyioides" might exhibit Batesian mimicry, which could reduce its frequency of being eaten by predators.
