• Phasia chilensis

  Phasia chilensis is a tachinid fly in the genus Phasia, a large and taxonomically complex group of parasitoid flies. The species was originally described as Hyalomya chilensis by Macquart in 1851 and has undergone significant taxonomic revision, with four junior synonyms recently synonymized under it. As a member of the Phasiinae subfamily, it likely functions as a parasitoid of true bugs (Hemiptera), though specific host records for this species require confirmation from the primary literature. The genus Phasia exhibits substantial morphological diversity and has a broad distribution across multiple continents.
