Diagnosis
Alloxysta macrophadna is mainly characterized by a big, partially open radial cell (Fig. 4.21); the presence of pronotal carinae; the absence of propodeal carinae; and antenna with rhinaria and club shape beginning on F 4 in females and F 3 in males. It is similar to A. obscurata, but can be differentiated by the proportions of the flagellomere (F1 is subequal to F2, F2 is longer than F3, and F3 is subequal to F 4 in A. macrophadna (Fig. 2.25), while F1 is longer than F2, F2 is shorter than F3, and F3 is shorter than F 4 in A. obscurata (Fig. 2.31)), flagellomere shape (F2 and F3 are strongly curved in A. macrophadna males, but no flagellomeres are curved in A. obscurata males), and the size of the radial cell (3.0 times as long as wide in A. macrophadna (Fig. 4.21) but 2.7 times in A. obscurata (Fig. 5.3)).
