Alloxysta aurata Belizin, 1968: 716 . Type: deposited in ZIN (examined).

Diagnosis

Alloxysta aurata is mainly characterized by a partially open radial cell that is 3.0 times as long as wide (Fig. 4.4); the presence of pronotal and propodeal carinae; and male and female antenna with rhinaria beginning on F4, F1 longer than F2, F2 shorter than F3, and F3 subequal to F4 (Fig. 2.5). It is similar to A. castanea , but can be differentiated by the F2–F3 proportion (F2 is shorter than F 3 in A. aurata (Fig. 2.5), but subequal to F 3 in A. castanea (Fig. 2.11)) and the size of the radial cell (3.0 times as long as wide in A. aurata (Fig. 4.4) but 2.4 times in A. castanea (Fig. 4.9)).
