Bilyaxia mariae (Cobos, 1956), stat. & comb. n.

Anthaxia (Cylindrophora) mariae Cobos, 1956: 154; Bílý 1997: 90.

Brasilaxia jacobi Obenberger, 1958: 276; Cobos, 1971: 215 (synonymy).

Although Bilyaxia mariae resembles by its body­shape and costate elytra the representatives of Ctenoderus and Cylindrophora, it should be transferred to the genus Bilyaxia because of its ocellate sculpture of its pronotum and prosternal process, its unmodified anal sternite, and the form of its antennal sensory organs.

Distribution: Brazil, Paraguay.

Based on the facts discussed above, and following the recent comprehensive work of Bellamy (2003), I have modified my recent concepts of the subtribes Anthaxiina and Curina (Bílý 2000) to the following:

Curina Ho l y ń ski, 1988

Anthaxioides Cobos, 1978 Cylindrophora Solier, 1849 Ctenoderus Germain, 1856 Selagis Dejean, 1836

Romanophora gen. n.
