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

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]
