- Abstract
In this note we report the presence of Beelzebub bee-eater fly Mallophora leschenaulti Macquart, 1938 (Diptera: Asilidae) from northern Chile. A female was collected from highland scrublands in Chapiquiña town, Arica y Parinacota region. In addition, two females are reported from Lluta valley near Peru border. This is the second Mallophora species registered in Chile, distributed in scrubland and cropland ecosystems. We discuss some native carpenter bees and bumblebees as potential preys.
