Treatment

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:
