Biology and notes.
Macrometopia atra
is mainly associated with Mediterranean scrubland, Valdivian forests or
Nothofagus
forest although is it also likely to be found in open areas (R. Barahona-Segovia, pers. obs.). According to
Smith-Ramírez
et al.
(2005)
, this species visits flowers of the endemic trees
Eucryphia cordifolia
and
M. planipes
in Chiloé (R. Barahona-Segovia, obs. pers.).
