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.
