Notes

Quinlan (1978a) listed 36 Alloxysta species for Britain and Ireland, which Fergusson (1986) reduced to 11, mainly through synonymy. However, Fergusson did not work with much reared material and Evenhuis (1985) and Müller et al. (1999) have adopted much narrower species limits than Fergusson, an approach borne out by FVV’s work on the biology and taxonomy of the genus (see Van Veen et al. 2003).

species of Alloxysta excluded from the British and Irish list:

[ flavicornis (Hartig, 1841, Xystus ) incertae sedis]

[ ullrichi (Giraud, 1860, Allotria ) incertae sedis; ullerichi misspelling]

These species were listed by Quinlan (1978a) but not recognised as British or Irish by Fergusson (1986) and not found by FVV.

Alloxysta species of uncertain status:

[ ignorata (Kieffer, 1900, Dilyta ) nom. dub.] Listed by Fergusson (1986) as a synonym of macrophadnus , the type material of ignorata has not been located and it has not been possible to interpret the name ( Ferrer-Suay et al. 2012b).
