D. varipalpis looks different to me. vide Irina Brake's website
http://milichiidae.info/sites/milichiidae.info/files/DesmometopavaripalpisMla.jpg

the palps are yellowish with a black apex.

maybe Irina Brake will post an opinion.

It looks like a female Desmometopa varipalpis. Only the male has the enlarged palpus.
