Type species. Chrysomela asparagi Linnaeus, 1758 , by present designation.

Current status. New junior objective synonym of Crioceris Geoffroy, 1762 .

Comments. The name is available based on Article 12.2.5 ( ICZN 1999). The name Anthurga Gistel, 1848 was completely forgotten. All four available names originally included by GISTEL (1948c) are classified in Criocerinae . Since the type species was never designated, I select Chrysomela asparagi Linnaeus, 1758 as the type species. Consequently, Anthurga Gistel, 1848 becomes a new junior objective synonym of Crioceris Geoffroy, 1762 .
