Diagnosis

Alloxysta quedenfeldti is mainly characterized by a closed radial cell that is 2.8 times as long as wide (Fig. 5.12); the absence of pronotal and propodeal carinae; and female antenna with rhinaria beginning on F3, F1 subequal to pedicel, and F1–F3 subequal in length (Fig. 3.8). It is similar to A. aperta , but differs in the proportion of the pedicel–F1 (F1 is subequal to pedicel in A. quedenfeldti (Fig. 3.8), but longer than pedicel in A. aperta (Fig. 2.2)) and where rhinaria begin (on F 3 in A. quedenfeldti (Fig. 3.8), but on F 4 in A. aperta (Fig. 2.2)).
