Diagnosis

Alloxysta victrix is mainly characterized by a large closed radial cell that is 3.0 times as long as wide (Fig. 5.21); the presence of pronotal carinae; the absence of propodeal carinae; the lack of setae on longitudinal areas where carinae are present in other species of Charipinae (Fig. 9.2); and male and female antenna with rhinaria beginning on F3, F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2–F4 subequal (Fig. 3.17), and F1–F3 curved in males. It is similar to A. consobrina, but can be differentiated by the proportions of the flagellomere (F2–F4 are subequal in length in A. victrix (Fig. 3.17), while F2 is subequal to F3 and F3 is shorter than F 4 in A. consobrina (Fig. 2.14)), the size of the radial cell (3.0 times as long as wide in A. victrix (Fig. 5.21), but 2.7 times in A. consobrina (Fig. 4.12)), and the degree of propodeal pubescence (in A. victrix, the propodeum lacks setae at the longitudinal area where the carinae are present in other Charipinae, while in A. consobrina, the propodeum is completely covered with dense setae).
