Biology.
Fazia macquarti
has been associated with the tree species
L. apiculata
,
M. ovata
var.
ovata
and
T. stipularis
(
Smith-Ramírez
et al.
, 2005
)
. Previously,
Porter (1921)
mentioned that professor Stuardo collected this species in
A. chilensis
. He also mentioned that professor Espinosa gave him a specimen collected in a flower called “Tupa”. This flower fly species has also been observed visiting flower of
Baccharis
sp. (Daniel Mora, CSP record);
B. rapa
(Fernanda Gatalina, CSP record);
M. domestica
(Vanessa Durán & Rodrigo Barahona-Segovia, CSP record);
T. officinale
