Alloxysta marshalliana (Kieffer, 1900)

Figs 2.26, 4.22

Nephycta marshalliana Kieffer, 1900: 114 . Type: deposited in BMNH (examined).

Alloxysta marshalliana – Hellén 1931: 5.

Diagnosis

Alloxysta marshalliana is mainly characterized as a brachypterous species with a radial cell present. According to these features, A. marshalliana is very similar to A. glebaria, but can be easily differentiated by the shape of the radial cell (completely open in A. marshalliana (Fig. 4.22) but closed in A. glebaria).
