description Objetivo. Demostrar la variabilidad intraespecífica de Toxomerus flaviplurus (Hall, 1927) y ampliar su área de distribución geográfica. Alcance. Promover el conocimiento de la diversidad de Syrphidae de Colombia y Bolivia. Metodología. Este estudio se basó en especímenes colectados utilizando red entomológica y trampas Malaise, durante la vigencia del proyecto “Taxonomía de Pipunculidae (Diptera: Insecta) de Colombia”; el cual incluyó áreas rurales (cultivos de caña de azúcar, Saccharum officinarum L.) y de bosque secundario (suelo) en los dieciséis municipios del departamento de Antioquia y Caquetá en Colombia y Cochabamba en Bolivia. Resultados. Con más de 140 especies descritas, Toxomerus Macquart, 1855 (Diptera: Syrphidae) está ampliamente distribuido en América. En el presente trabajo ampliamos el rango de distribución en la región Andina y registramos por primera vez a T. flaviplurus en la región Andino-Amazónica de Colombia y Bolivia, siendo su registro distribucional más austral. Se describe e ilustra la variación intraespecífica, incluyendo fotografías de machos y hembras. Conclusiones. Los resultados nos ayudan a entender la variabilidad intraespecífica de T. flaviplurus y a conocer un poco más su área de distribución geográfica

To demonstrate the intraspecific variability of Toxomerus flaviplurus (Hall, 1927) and expand its geographic distribution area. Scope. Promote knowledge of the diversity of Syrphidae in Colombia and Bolivia. Methodology. This study was based on specimens collected using entomological nets and Malaise traps during the term of the “Taxonomy of Pipunculidae (Diptera: Insecta) of Colombia” project which included rural areas (sugarcane crops, Saccharum officinarum L.) and secondary forest (soil) areas in sixteen municipalities of the Departments of Antioquia and Caquetá in Colombia and Cochabamba in Bolivia. Results. With more than 140 described species, Toxomerus Macquart, 1855 (Diptera: Syrphidae) is widely distributed in America. In this work, the distribution range is extended to the Andean region and T. flaviplurus is registered for the first time in the Andean-Amazonian region of Colombia and Bolivia, being its southernmost distributional record. Intraspecific variation is described and illustrated, including photographs of males and females. Conclusions. The results make it possible to understand the intraspecific variability of T. flaviplurus and to know a little more about its geographical distribution.Boletín Científico2024-07-01T00:00:00Z2025-10-08T21:06:47Z2024-07-01T00:00:00Z2025-10-08T21:06:47Z2024-07-01Artículo de revistahttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Textinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleJournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1application/pdf0123-3068https://repositorio.ucaldas.edu.co/handle/ucaldas/2351410.17151/bccm.2024.28.2.22462-8190https://doi.org/10.17151/bccm.2024.28.2.2https://revistasojs.ucaldas.edu.co/index.php/boletincientifico/article/view/10355eng4723328Boletín Científico Centro de Museos Museo de Historia NaturalBorges, Z.M. & Couri, M.S.
