Diagnosis
Alloxysta brachyptera
is mainly characterized as a brachypterous species with pronotal carinae absent, propodeal carinae present, and F1 shorter than pedicel (Fig. 2.8). It is similar to
A. pedestris
,
but can be easily differentiated by the presence of propodeal carinae (present in
A. brachyptera
but absent in
A. pedestris
).
