Abstract
The aim of this study is to review the brachypterous species within the genusAlloxystaFörster, 1869. The known brachypterousspecies ofAlloxystahave been compared with fully winged species in order to establish hypotheses regarding dimorphism for winglength and shape. This analysis is based only on the morphological features shared between species; breeding and genetic analyses willbe necessary to test and refine these hypotheses. Two new brachypterous species are described here:Alloxysta curtaFerrer-Suaysp. nov. andAlloxysta pseudoconsobrinaFerrer-Suaysp. nov.Six species are revised. In total, there are now 8 brachypterous species known inthis genus.
