Syrphidae, more commonly known as flower flies, are considered one of the most important Diptera families worldwide because of their critical role in pollination, biological control and decomposition of organic matter. The study of these flies in Chile has stagnated due to a lack of local experts as well as the absence of an updated catalog of species. This study is an attempt to remedy the latter of these issues by providing an illustrated and updated catalog to the Syrphidae of Chile. Species are presented under currently accepted names, with synonyms and previous combinations listed and original references. Type localities, world and Chilean distribution by geopolitical Chilean regions, taxonomic and biological notes, a complete record of bibliographic references and extinction risk under IUCN Red List criteria are provided. This catalog recognizes 132 species of Syrphidae, belonging to four subfamilies (Eristalinae, Microdontinae, Pipizinae and Syrphinae), 13 tribes and 47 genera. A total of 46 species (34.84 %) is restricted to the geopolitical territory of Chile. Eight species are considered exotic, one is considered incertae sedis and three are based on doubtful records. Seventeen species of 10 different genera (Copestylum Macquart, 1846; Dolichogyna Macquart, 1842; Eosalpingogaster Hull, 1949b; Eupeodes Osten Sacken, 1877; Meromacrus Rondani, 1848; Palpada Macquart, 1834; Paragus Latreille, 1804; Sphiximorpha Rondani, 1850; Sterphus Philippi, 1865 and Toxomerus Macquart, 1855) are reported from Chile for the first time. A total of 44 species (33.33 %) reported from Chile are directly threatened by human activities such as agriculture, forestry, mining and/or urbanization and indirectly by climate change. The gaps found in the geographic distribution of Chilean flower fly species and what it means for its use by disciplines such as ecology, floral biology and agronomy, are discussed. In addition, the use of this illustrated catalog for biological conservation, the potential definition of priority areas and ecosystem management plans based on this group of Diptera are also discussed.
花蝇科（Syrphidae），通常被称为食蚜蝇，因其在授粉、生物防治和有机物质分解方面的重要作用而被认为是世界上最重要的双翅目科之一。由于缺乏当地专家以及缺乏最新的物种目录，智利对这些蝇类的研究已经停滞不前。本研究试图通过提供智利花蝇科的插图和更新目录来弥补后者的不足。该研究将物种按照当前接受的名称呈现，列出同义词和以前的组合，并提供原始参考文献。还提供了模式产地、世界和智利的地理区域分布、分类和生物学注释、完整的参考文献记录以及根据 IUCN 红色名录标准下的灭绝风险。该目录共识别出 132 种花蝇科，隶属于四个亚科（Eristalinae、Microdontinae、Pipizinae 和 Syrphinae）、13 个部落和 47 个属。共有 46 种（34.84%）仅限于智利的地缘政治领土。8 种被认为是外来种，1 种被认为是不确定的地位，3 种是基于可疑的记录。10 个不同属的 17 种物种（Copestylum Macquart，1846；Dolichogyna Macquart，1842；Eosalpingogaster Hull，1949b；Eupeodes Osten Sacken，1877；Meromacrus Rondani，1848；Palpada Macquart，1834；Paragus Latreille，1804；Sphiximorpha Rondani，1850；Sterphus Philippi，1865 和 Toxomerus Macquart，1855）首次在智利报道。共有 44 种（33.33%）从智利报道的物种直接受到农业、林业、采矿和/或城市化等人类活动的威胁，间接受到气候变化的威胁。讨论了智利花蝇物种地理分布的差距以及对生态学、花卉生物学和农业等学科的影响。此外，还讨论了该插图目录在生物保护、基于该类双翅目定义优先领域和生态系统管理计划的潜在用途。
