Type : deposited in ZSM (examined). Allotria brachyptera Giraud 1860: 131 . Pezophycta brachyptera Förster 1869: 339 . Pezophycta brachyptera brachyptera Dalla Torre & Kieffer 1910: 292 . Alloxysta brachyptera Hellén 1931: 5 . 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 ).
