I have often found a fly that seems Pseudodorus clavatus , species not recorded in Chile. Could ( with photographs ) tell me if it corresponds to the species, or similar?

A simple question, is Pseudodorus clavatus (Fabricius) synonymous with Baccha clavata (Fabricius)?

Same species, originally
Syrphus clavatus Fabricius, 1794.

Then , since Baccha clavata Fabricius has registration for Chile, logically Pseudodorus clavatus Fabricius would record for Chile. Is this correct?

This is probably
P. clavatus.
A new species was described in 2000,
Pseudodoros vockerothi (as
Dioprosopa vockerothi). It lives at elevation from 1000 to 2500 m in Ecuador, Peru, and Chile. Your fly's abdominal pattern matches
clavatus and not
vockerothi. There may be more undiscovered species.
