Diagnosis
Alloxysta darci
is mainly characterized by a small closed radial cell; the absence of pronotal carinae; the presence of a propodeal plate; antenna with rhinaria and club shape beginning on F4; F1 shorter than pedicel; and antenna longer than body length in both males and females. This species is similar to
A. brevis
, but can be differentiated by the length of antenna (longer than the body in
A. darci
, but shorter in
A. brevis
), and the marginal setae on the fore wing (longer in
A. darci
than in
A. brevis
).
