Alloxysta mullensis (Cameron, 1883) Figs 2.28, 4.24 Allotria mullensis Cameron, 1883: 366. Type: deposited in BMNH (examined). Allotria ( Allotria ) mullensis – Dalla Torre & Kieffer 1902: 40. Charips ( Charips ) mullensis – Dalla Torre & Kieffer 1910: 284. Alloxysta mullensis – Quinlan 1974: 8. Diagnosis Alloxysta mullensis is mainly characterized by a closed radial cell that is 2.2 times as long as wide (Fig. 4.24); the absence of pronotal carinae; the presence of propodeal carinae that form a plate; and male and female antenna with rhinaria beginning on F4, F1 longer than F2, F2 subequal to F3, and F3 shorter than F4 (Fig. 2.28). It is similar to A. fracticornis , but can be differentiated by the proportion of the F1–pedicel ratio (F1 is subequal to pedicel in A. mullensis (Fig. 2.28), but longer than pedicel in A. fracticornis (Fig. 2.17)), flagellomere proportions (F1 is longer than F2 and F2 is subequal to F 3 in A. mullensis females (Fig. 2.28), while F1–F3 are subequal in length in A. fracticornis females (Fig. 2.17)), and flagellomere shape (no flagellomeres are curved in A. mullensis males, but F3 is curved in A. fracticornis males).
