Anthoxyela Rasnitsyn 1977

Description

Genus Anthoxyela Rasnitsyn, 1977

Type species: Anthoxyela baissensis Rasnitsyn, 1977

Revised diagnosis: Forewing with pterostigma sclerotized basally only; vein Sc connected to R only for a very short distance beyond origin of Rs, and the posterior branch of Sc (Sc2) short, subvertical or weakly oblique; crossvein 1m-cu slightly shorter than distally adjacent abscissa of Cu; hind wing with basal section of Rs longer, the cell 1Cu broad and basal part of vein cu-a extraordinarily bend. Antenna with third segment thicker and slightly longer than following segments, more than ten flagellomeres.

We no longer consider the length ratio of Rs and M of forewing to be a diagnosis character, and some characters of hind wing added.

Species included: A. baissensis Rasnitsyn, 1977, A. anthophaga Rasnitsyn, 1982, A. turgensis Rasnitsyn, 1990, and A. orientalis sp. nov.

Based on the above discussion, the key to identify species of the genus of Anthoxyela is listed as follows:
