We failed to find any substantial difference among these specimens, except for minor variability in size and colouration, present also among specimens determined as <i>A. dayaka</i>. Therefore, we consider <i>Anthaxia priska</i> Bílý, 2019 to be a junior synonym of <i>Anthaxia dayaka</i> Bílý, 1991. The exact position of this species within the subgenera <i>Haplanthaxia</i> Reitter, 1911 or <i>Merocratus</i> Bílý, 1989 can be debated, but in our opinion, it does not bear several important <i>Merocratus</i> characters. These include the structure of the pronotum which should be at least partly with wrinkles and without cells with a central grain and also the shape of the anal sternite should be slightly different. Furthermore, the shape of the aedeagus in <i>A. priska</i> is different from all known <i>Merocratus</i> species. Based on this evaluation we believe that <i>Anthaxia dayaka</i> Bílý, 1991 belongs to the subgenus <i>Haplanthaxia</i>. Its position in the <i>A. aeneocuprea</i> species-group is also unique, but we believe that attribution of this species to this species-group is correct, especially because of the general shape of body.</p>
