Rediscovery and re-description of the rare hummingbird fly Lasia pulla (Diptera: Acroceridae) from the Valdivian evergreen forest, Chile

Lasia pulla has not recorded since their description in 1865 by Philippi. New specimen records and an updated taxonomical description is provided here. This hummingbird fly species is endemic from the Los Ríos Region, Chile. In this area, many ecosystems are still unexplored, but anthropic activities are currently fragmenting the evergreen forests. A IUCN Red List assessment is suggested.
