Diagnosis
Alloxysta obscurata
is mainly characterized by a partially open radial cell that is 2.7 times as long as wide (Fig. 5.3); the presence of pronotal carinae; the absence of propodeal carinae; female antenna with
rhinaria beginning on F3, F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2 subequal to F3, and F3 shorter than F4 (Fig. 2.31); male antenna with rhinaria beginning on F4, F2 slightly curved, F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2 longer than F3, and F3 longer than F4. It is similar to
A. macrophadna
, but can be differentiated by the proportions of the flagellomere (F1 is longer than F2, F2 is shorter than F3, and F3 is shorter than F
4 in
A. obscurata
(Fig. 2.31), while F1 is subequal to F2, F2 is longer than F3, and F3 is subequal to F
4 in
A. macrophadna
(Fig. 2.25)), the shape of the flagellomere (no flagellomeres are curved in males of
A. obscurata
, but F2 and F3 are strongly curved in males of
A. macrophadna
), and the size of the radial cell (2.7 times as long as wide in
A. obscurata
(Fig. 5.3), but 3.0 times in
A. macrophadna
(Fig. 4.21)).
