There are several presumably native species in South America closely related to
Delia platyura. As of 1993 only one was described:
D. sanctijacobi.
According to the key by Gomes et al. (2022) (
http://dx.doi.org....80.e82831) the eyes of
D. platyura and
D. sanctijacobi are closer togther ("frontal vitta usually obliterated at narrowest point of frons").
