The Anypotactini are a Neotropical weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae. [1] It includes 81 described species. [2]

Contents

Distribution

The tribe ranges from south-western USA (Texas) to Argentina and Chile and some Caribbean islands. [1] Most genera are distributed in Central America and northern South America, but the largest genus, Hyphantus Germar, 1824 [3] (45 species [4] ), is distributed in southern Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.

The Central American species were studied by Champion (1911). [5]

Diagnosis

Most anypotactines are small (approx. 4–11 mm), covered by brown scales, with some members of the genus Prepodellus covered by metallic green or blue scales. [6] The dorsal surface of the body usually bears thick and erect scale-like setae, rather uniformly distributed. Members of the genus Hyphantus tend to be larger and dark in coloration. [4]
