Type species.

Anthaxia cupriceps Fairmaire & Germain, 1858 by original designation.

The genus was originally described by Hołyński (1989) as a subgenus of Anthaxia and it was upgraded to the genus level by Bílý (2004). According to Bellamy (2008) it contains 18 species but the division to several subgenera is necessary. Three species were transferred to the separate, monotypic genera ( Charlesina gen. n., Cobosina gen. n. and Marikia gen. n. - see above), the remaining 15 species is assigned into three subgenera.
