Type : deposited in MZLU (examined). Pezophycta halterata – Kieffer 1900: 114 . Alloxysta halterata – Hellén 1963: 20 . Diagnosis Alloxysta halterata is easily differentiated from the other brachypterous species of Alloxysta ( A. brachyptera , A. pedestris and A. apteroidea ) as it has pronotal carinae while the others do not. Females with normal sized wings are similar to A. victrix because both species have a closed radial cell and no propodeal carinae, but they can be differentiated by the size of the radial cell (2.4 times as long as wide in some A. halterata females but 3.0 times in A. victrix (Fig. 5.21)) and the F1–F2 proportion in females (F1 is subequal to F 2 in A. halterata , while F1 is longer than F 2 in A. victrix (Fig. 3.17)).
