Biology and notes. Dioprosopa clavata is a species with a wide distribution. It has been found visiting mainly exotic plants such as Myoporum laetum G. Forst , T. officinale , Trifolium sp., and Plumbago auriculata Lam. (R. Barahona-Segovia, pers. obs.). Also, this species have been observed visiting flowers of E. pectinatus , L. marítima , H. helix and Chlorophytum comosum (Thunb.) Jacques (Gabriela Germain, CSP records); C. ovata (Susana Delgado, CSP record); H. echioides (Mari Peña, CSP record) and Cuscuta sp. (Matías Cortés, CSP record). This species is an important biological controller of different insect pests such as aphids ( Rojo et al., 2003).

Conservation status. LC; EOO = 113,098 km 2, AOO = 68 km 2, 14 subpopulations and 15 localities.
