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.) Edited by John Carr on 15-02-2015 20:33 |

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. Marston, Norman L. 1970. Revision of New World Species of Anthrax (Diptera: Bombyliidae), Other than the Anthrax Albofasciatus Group. Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology 43. https://repositor...10088/5287 |
