Biology and notes.
Probably an introduced species. The genus
Paragus
occurs throughout all continents. In the New World, seven species have been recorded from
Yukon
to Central America. This is the first record of this tribe and genus in southern South America. We do not know the flowers that this species visits, the prey they consume in their larval stages, or the basic aspects of its biology and ecology.
Conservation status.
Not evaluated because this species is considered exotic.
