Eryxia cinerascens is a species of leaf beetle from Senegal, described by Léon Fairmaire in 1894.[2] It was originally described as a species of the genus Syagrus. It was transferred to the genus Eryxia in 2023, based on the original description and Fairmaire's statement that the species resembles Eryxia holosericea.[3]
