Biology and notes.
Philippi (1865)
mentioned
Pipiza flavipes
Philippi
as a junior synonym of
Sterphus flavipes
(
Shannon & Aubertin 1933
,
Thompson
et al.
1976
), which was synonymized under
P. aurantipes
(
Thompson
et al.
1976
)
.
Etcheverry (1963)
and
Thompson (1972b)
comment that
P. flavipes
has no description and that the synonymy was based only on a catalog.
Pipiza flavipes
should be considered
incertae sedis
and therefore it was not incorporated into this study. Four specimens in the MNHNCL labeled as
P. flavipes
clearly belong to
P. aurantipes
. The examined material and distribution were added to the information of the latter species. The species has been observed in flowers of
Loasa triloba
Dombey ex Juss.
(Claudio Arancibia, CSP record;
Fig. 152
).
