Alloxysta curta Ferrer-Suay 2017
No full textAlloxysta curta Ferrer-Suay, 2017 Alloxysta curta Ferrer-Suay, 2017: 425. Type: deposited in UB. Diagnosis Alloxysta curta is characterized as a brachypterous species very similar to A. glebaria, with a small closed radial cell. However, these two species can be differentiated by the presence of pronotal carinae (present in A. curta but absent in A. glebaria).

Alloxysta barbotini Ferrer-Suay & Pujade-Villar 2016
No full textAlloxysta barbotini Ferrer-Suay & Pujade-Villar, 2016 Alloxysta barbotini Ferrer-Suay & Pujade-Villar. Type: deposited in UB. Diagnosis Alloxysta barbotini is similar to Alloxysta australiae (Ashmead, 1900) because both species have a closed radial cell, pronotal and propodeal carinae present, and independent propodeal carinae. They can be differentiated by the antenna (rhinaria and club shape begin on F2 (female) or F1 (male) in A. barbotini, but on F 4 in A. australiae (only female known); F2 is slightly longer than F3 and F3 is subequal to F 4 in A. barbotini, but F2–F4 are subequal in length in A. australiae), propodeal carinae (wide and not defined posteriorly in A. barbotini but thin and straight in A. australiae), and the size of the radial cell (2.1 (female) and 2.0 (male) times as long as wide in A. barbotini but 2.4 times in A. australiae).

Cynips incomptum Pujade-Villar and Ferrer-Suay 2015

Type material: ‘‘ San Luis Potosi, Mex., Kinsey cutex gall, 4.29.19 ’’, ‘‘ Andricus incomptus CO- TYPE’’ (red label), ‘‘ AMNH_IZC 00322871 ’’, ‘‘ LECTOTYPE Andricus incomptum Kinsey, 1920: 306 design. M. Ferrer-Suay 2016 ’’ (red label). Comments. According to the original description two female and 28 gall cotypes were deposited in the MCZ and in the author’s collection, and only a cotype gall in the AMNH. However, the female (cotype) was found in the Kinsey collection deposited in the AMNH and it is designated as lectotype and has been so labeled by the first author. This species was originally described as Andricus and was transferred to Cynips by Pujade- Villar and Ferrer-Suay (2015) because the head has no irradiating carinae and the ventral spine of hypopygium is wide with parallel sides, with an apical tuft of setae. Images of the lectotype and its labels are given in Fig. 3.Published as part of Mar Ferrer- Suay, James M.

Four new species of Alloxysta (Hym.: Cynipoidea: Figitidae: Charipinae) from Petr Starý’s collection
No full textAfter the revision of Petr Starý’s Charipinae collection, four new species of Alloxysta Förster, 1869 have been found. This collection represents a good overview of the Charipinae fauna worldwide, although the best represented area is Central Europe. Here, we describe four new species of Alloxysta: A. llumae Ferrer-Suay sp. nov., A. onae Ferrer-Suay sp. nov., A. poli Ferrer-Suay sp. nov. and A. staryi Ferrer-Suay & Pujade-Villar sp. nov. Three of these new species are based on reared specimens. Diagnosis, distribution, and description of the new species are given and illustrated
