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

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