Anypotactus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae, subfamily Entiminae , tribe Anypotactini, present across Central and South America. [1] There are six described species in Anypotactus. [2] [3]
Anypotactus was described for the first time by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1840 (p. 299). [4] The type species is Anypotactus exilisBoheman, 1840: 300. [4] [1]
Members of Anypotactus are small (~4 to 10 mm). The following characters are provided by van Emden [5] to recognize Anypotactus:
Shoulders and wings present. Fore coxae contiguous. Mandibular scar not very large, not projecting. Rostrum separated from frons by a transverse groove. Femora toothed. Dorso-apical part of rostrum set off, rostrum rather short; nasal plate large and conspicuous.

Members of Anypotactus range from Guatemala to Bolivia without representatives in the Caribbean. [1]
