Key for identification of Anoxia (Protanoxia) males from Europe and Asia (modified from Baraud 1989):

1. Antennomere III at least three times as long as antennomere II; antennal club straight, short, as long as (or shorter than) antennal shaft................................................................................................2

- Antennomere III approximately two times as long as antennomere II; antennal club arcuate, distinctly longer than antennal shaft................................................................... A. (P.) laevimacula Petrovitz, 1973

2. Protibia with three external teeth......................................................................... 3

- Protibia only with the apical external tooth.................................................................................... A. (P.) baraudi Keith, 2003 , A. (P.) cingulata Marseul, 1868 , and A. (P.) orientalis (Krynicki, 1832)

3. Apical maxillary palp enlarged and broad ( Fig. 14 )................................ A. (P.) smyrnensis Petrovitz, 1965

- Apical maxillary palp normally developed, narrow ( Figs. 15–16 )............................................... 4

4. Basal margin of pronotum broad ( Fig. 11 ); scale-like macrosetae on pygidium short and sparse ( Fig. 13 )........................................................................................... A. (P.) ciliciensis Baraud, 1989

- Basal margin of pronotum narrow ( Fig. 10 ); scale-like macrosetae on pygidium longer and dense ( Fig. 12...................................................................................... A . (P.) maljuzhenkoi ( Zaitzev, 1928)
