Diagnosis

Alloxysta sawoniewiczi is closely related to A. arcuata . Both have a closed radial cell, pronotal and propodeal carinae, and F1 subequal to pedicel. They can be distinguished by the length of the antenna ( A. sawoniewiczi has antenna shorter than body length, while in A. arcuata it is longer), where rhinaria begin (in A. sawoniewiczi on F 5 in females (Fig. 3.12) and on F 4 in males, while in A. arcuata on F 3 in females (Fig. 2.4) and F 2 in males), and the shape of the propodeal carinae (in A. sawoniewiczi, they are narrow and well-defined in the anterior half and wide and forming a plate in the posterior half with sharp margins, while in A. arcuata they form a complete plate with few setae on top and margins slightly curved).
