Diagnosis

Alloxysta longipennis is mainly characterized by a partially open radial cell that is 2.6 times as long as wide (Fig. 4.20); the presence of pronotal and propodeal carinae that form a plate with straight sides; and female antenna with rhinaria beginning on F3, F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2 subequal to F3, and F3 shorter than F4 (Fig. 2.24). Male characteristics are unknown. It is similar to A. melanogaster , but can be differentiated by flagellomere proportions in females (F1 is longer than pedicel in A. longipennis (Fig. 2.24), while F1 is subequal to pedicel in A. melanogaster (Fig. 2.27)) and the size of the radial cell (2.6 times as long as wide in A. longipennnis (Fig. 4.20) but 2.3 times in A. melanogaster (Fig. 4.23)).
