Biology and notes.
Syrphus reedi
is associated with the EN native tree
G. keule
(
Lander
et al.
, 2009
)
. This tree is found in a small area of the Chilean coastal mountain range between the
Maule
and
Biobío regions
(
Acevedo & Álvarez 1999
), but
S. reedi
has a greater distribution in
Chile
. Biological interactions are not currently considered as a criterion in the IUCN Red List assessment (
IUCN 2012
). Therefore, it is not possible to assign a threaten category to this fly based on the mutualism it exhibits with this threatened tree species.
Syrphus reedi
has also been associated to flowers of the exotic plant
Eucalyptus nitens
H. Deane & Maiden (
Sanzana
et al.
, 2012
)
. Also, this species has been observed visiting flowers of other exotic and native plant species registered by citizen scientists such as
Gilliesia graminea
Lindl.
(Camilo Colilaf, CSP record);
L. maritima
(Gabriela Germain, CSP record);
Luma apiculata
(Orlando Montes, CSP record);
M. domestica
(Vanessa Durán, Paz Gatica, Joaquín Sepúlveda, Romina Oberti and Rodrigo Barahona-Segovia, pers. obs.);
Prunus
sp. and
R. raphanistrum
(Asiel Olivares, CSP records).
