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