Anaplecta – Hebard 1929: 27 . — Bruijning 1948: 43 . — Princis 1965: 367 . — Roth 1990: 645 ; 1996: 304 ; 2003: 36 . — Beccaloni 2014 . Type species Anaplecta lateralis Burmeister, 1838 . Diagnosis Sexual dimorphism indistinct. Size small. Body smooth. Color ranging from brownish yellow to dark brown. Eyes large, wide apart. Ocelli absent, or only indicated by two dim white spots. Antennae longer than body length. Clypeus distinct, swollen (except for Australian species A. calosoma Shelford, 1912 ). Tegmina and wings: usually fully developed, both extending over the end of abdomen (except for Australian species A. brachyptera Roth, 1990 ). Tegmina narrow, usually with three longitudinal or sublongitudinal sectors. Wings often infuscated, radial field and part of appendicular field darker than remaining part and with large appendicular field about 40% of wings; costal veins and radial veins sometimes obvious, sometimes indistinct; two weakly developed veins, one longitudinal along fold, the other somewhat oblique in appendicular field. Legs: front femur type B2. Pulvilli absent or apparent on the fourth proximal tarsomere only. Claws usually simple, rarely serrated, symmetrical. Arolia present. Abdomen: male: middle area of supra-anal plate with a cluster of pubescence; apical margin convex, with long setae. Subgenital plate generally symmetrical; styli cylindrical with setae; female: subgenital plate valvular. Genitalia: male: hook (L3) on left.
