Alloxysta longipennis ( Hartig, 1841)

( Figs 2J View FIG ; 3J View FIG )

Xystus longipennis Hartig, 1841: 352 .

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — (1♂ & 5♀). M09-BOR1400- T3 -M1: 1♂ ; M09-BOR1400- T5 -M1: 1♀ ; M09-SES1400- T3 -M1: 1♀ ; M09-SES2000- T3 -M1: 1♀ ; M09-SES2000- T6 -M2: 1♀ ; M10- CAI1400- T7 -M2: 1♀. Material deposited at MNHN except for 2♀ deposited at UB .

DISTRIBUTION. — Previously known from Germany (Ferrer-Suay et al. 2012a). First record from France.

HOSTS. — Unknown.

DIAGNOSIS. — Alloxysta longipennis is characterized by: partially open radial cell, 2.6 × longer than wide ( Fig. 3J View FIG ), pronotal and propodeal carinae present, forming a plate with straight sides, female with rhinaria beginning from F3, F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2 subequal to F3, F3 shorter than F4 ( Fig. 2J View FIG ). Male unknown. Similar to Alloxysta melanogaster ( Hartig, 1840) , but the two species can be differentiated by the proportions between flagellomeres in female: F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2 subequal to F 3 in A. longipennis ( Fig. 2J View FIG ), whereas pedicel-F3 subequal in A. melanogaster ( Fig. 2L View FIG ); and by the size of radial cell: 2.6 × longer than wide in A. longipennis ( Fig. 3J View FIG ), versus 2.3 × in A. melanogaster ( Fig. 3L View FIG ).

Alloxysta macrophadna ( Hartig, 1841) ( Figs 2K View FIG ; 3K View FIG )

Xystus macrophadnus Hartig, 1841: 352 .

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — (1♂ & 25♀). M9- BOR1400 - T2 -M1: 2♀ ; M9- BOR1400 - T3 -M1: 1♀ ; M9- BOR2000 - T4 -M1: 2♀ ; M9- BOR2000 - T7 -M1: 1♀ ; M9- SES1400 - T2 -M1: 1♀ ; M09- SES1400 - T2 - M2: 1♀ ; M09- SES1400 - T3 -M2: 1♀ ; M09- SES1400 - T4 -M2: 1♀ ; M9- SES2000 - T2 -M1: 1♀ ; M9- SES2000 - T3 -M1: 1♀ ; M9- SES2000 - T4 -M1: 1♀ ; M9- SES2000 - T5 -M1: 1♀ ; M10- CAI1400 - T1 - M1: 2♀ ; M10- CAI2000 - T2 -M1: 1♀ ; M10- CAI2000 - T4 -M1: 1♀ ; M10- CAI2000 - T5 -M1: 1♂ ; M10- CAI2000 - T6 -M1: 1♀ ; M10- CAI2000 - T1 -M2: 1♀ ; M10- CAI2000 - T2 -M2: 3♀ ; M10- CAI1400 - T3 -M2: 2♀. Material deposited at MNHN, except for 10♀ deposited at UB .

DISTRIBUTION. — Species known from the Palaearctic region (Ferrer- Suay et al. 2012a). Previously cited from France by Kieffer (1902a: 10) and De Gaulle (1908: 26).

HOSTS. — See Charipinae Worldwide Catalogue (Ferrer-Suay et al., 2012a).

DIAGNOSIS. — Alloxysta macrophadna is characterized by: a large, partially open radial cell, 3.0 × longer than wide ( Fig. 3K View FIG ), pronotal carinae present, propodeal carinae absent, female antenna with rhinaria beginning from F4, F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2 shorter than F3, F3 shorter than F4 ( Fig. 2K View FIG ), male antenna with rhinaria beginning from F3, F2 and F3 clearly curved, F1 longer than pedicel and subequal to F2, F2 longer than F3, F3 longer than F4. Similar to Alloxysta obscurata ( Hartig, 1840) , but the two species can be differentiated by the shape of flagellomeres and their relative proportions: F1 subequal to F2, F2 longer than F3 and F3 subequal to F 4 in A. macrophadna ( Fig. 2K View FIG ) while F1 longer than F2, F2 shorter than F3 and F3 shorter than F 4 in A. obscurata ( Fig. 2O View FIG ); F2 and F3 strongly curved in A. macrophadna male, but without any curved flagellomere in A. obscurata male; proportions of radial cell 3.0 × longer than wide in A. macrophadna ( Fig. 3K View FIG ), versus 2.7 × in A. obscurata ( Fig. 3O View FIG ).

Alloxysta melanogaster ( Hartig, 1840) ( Figs 2L View FIG ; 3L View FIG )

DIAGNOSIS. — Alloxysta melanogaster is characterized by: a partially open radial cell, 2.3 × longer than wide ( Fig. 3L View FIG ), pronotal and propodeal carinae present, female antenna with rhinaria beginning from F3, F1 subequal to pedicel, F1 longer than F2, F2 subequal to F3, F4 longer than F3 ( Fig. 2L View FIG ), male antenna with rhinaria beginning from F2, F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2-F4 subequal in length. Similar to A. longipennis , but the two species can be differentiated by the proportion between flagellomeres in female: pedicel-F3 subequal in A. melanogaster ( Fig. 2L View FIG ) while F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2 subequal to F 3 in A. longipennis ( Fig. 2J View FIG ); size of radial cell 2.3 × longer than wide in A. melanogaster ( Fig. 3L View FIG ) but 2.6 × in A. longipennis ( Fig. 3J View FIG ).
