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.
