Syntormon pallipes is a species of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found in the Palearctic,[3][4][5] Oriental and Afrotropical realms. In 2019, the mitochondrial genome of S. pallipes was sequenced, as the first representative of the subfamily Sympycninae.[6]
Syntormon pseudospicatus is sometimes treated as a synonym of S. pallipes, but they are argued by Drake (2020) to be distinct species.[7]
A subspecies named Syntormon pallipes longistylus was described by Igor Grichanov from Madagascar in 2001.[1] In 2020, it was determined that this subspecies was in fact a distinct species, Syntormon longistylus.[8]
