I have often found a fly that seems Pseudodorus clavatus , species not recorded in Chile. Could ( with photographs ) tell me if it corresponds to the species, or similar?

A simple question, is Pseudodorus clavatus (Fabricius) synonymous with Baccha clavata (Fabricius)?

Same species, originally Syrphus clavatus Fabricius, 1794. |

Then , since Baccha clavata Fabricius has registration for Chile, logically Pseudodorus clavatus Fabricius would record for Chile. Is this correct? |

This is probably P. clavatus. A new species was described in 2000, Pseudodoros vockerothi (as Dioprosopa vockerothi). It lives at elevation from 1000 to 2500 m in Ecuador, Peru, and Chile. Your fly's abdominal pattern matches clavatus and not vockerothi. There may be more undiscovered species. See references here: http://syrphidae....ages/25641.
