Taxonomy

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]

Description

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.

Distribution

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