As a consequence of the emended description of Antimima N.E.Br. by Deh
n (1989) and based on extensive comparison of all types of the genera
Antimima and Ruschia Schwantes, and on studies of about 250 fresh coll
ections of Antimima, 95 species are tranferred to that genus from Rusc
hia. The arguments for this step, and brief diagnoses of the 100 known
species of Antimima are given. One species is excluded.
