Diagnosis

Alloxysta rufiventris is mainly characterized by a partially open radial cell that is 2.2 times as long as wide (Fig. 5.14); the absence of pronotal carinae; the presence of propodeal carinae that form a plate; and antenna with rhinaria and club shape beginning on F4 and pedicel–F4 subequal in length (Fig. 3.10). According to these features, there is no other species of Alloxysta similar to A. rufiventris .
