The wing is similar to the common North and Central American Anthrax irroratus but R2+3 and R4 are much less angular than that species. The reference you want is

Hall, J. C. 1976. The Bombyliidae of Chile. University of California Publications in Entomology 76:1-278

(I do not have it.)

I forgot that the revision of American Anthrax includes South America. This is probably close to Anthrax oedipus Fabricius, but I don't see enough to put a species name on it.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
