Parastratiosphecomyia stratiosphecomyioides

''Parastratiosphecomyia stratiosphecomyioides'' is a species of fly in the soldier fly family. 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scientific name; the name ''Gammaracanthuskytodermogammarus loricatobaicalensis'' was longer, but was suppressed and is no longer valid.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.
