Type : deposited in MZLU (examined). Dilyta nigrita – Kieffer 1900: 114 . Alloxysta ( Alloxysta ) nigrita – Dalla Torre & Kieffer 1902: 39 . Alloxysta nigrita – Andrews 1978: 87 . Diagnosis Alloxysta nigrita is mainly characterized by a completely open radial cell that is 2.9 times as long as wide in both males and females (Fig. 5.2); the presence of pronotal carinae; the absence of propodeal carinae; antenna with rhinaria beginning on F 4 in both males and females; female antenna with F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2 shorter than F3, and F3 longer than F4 (Fig. 2.30); male antenna with F1 longer than pedicel and subequal to F2, F2 longer than or subequal to F3, and F3 shorter than F4. It is similar to A. brachycera , but can be differentiated by the proportion of F2–F3 (F2 is shorter than F 3 in A. nigrita (Fig. 2.30), but longer than F 3 in A. brachycera (Fig. 2.7)) and the size of the radial cell (2.9 times as long as wide in A. nigrita (Fig. 5.2), but 2.7 times in A. brachycera (Fig. 4.6)).
