Eristalinus taeniops Wiedemann, 1818 : (42) female and (43) male visiting Veronica sp., Santiago. Photos by Pablo Moreno. Chilean distribution. Only recorded from Valparaíso region . Altitudinal range. It probably has a coastal distribution between 0 and 400 m . a.s.l. Biology and notes. No specimens of Eristalinus aeneus have been seen. In fact, Shannon & Aubertin (1933) highlight that this species has spotted eyes, wherefore, Thompson (1999a) synonymized Eristalis concolor under E. aeneus . The species was apparently introduced in Chile through traffic of ships in the port of Valparaíso . The type locality of E. concolor is recorded for Valparaíso . New specimens must be caught to establish its presence in the country. Conservation status. Not evaluated because is considered a doubtful record and an exotic species. Subgenus Eristalodes Mik, 1897 Eristalodes Mik, 1897: 114 . Type-species, Eristalis taeniopus ( Wiedemann, 1818: 42 ) .
