Diagnosis.
Lateral tubercle of the prothorax situated on posterior third; elytra with centrobasal crest, with or without carinae; apex of the metafemora surpassing elytral apex, especially in males; metafemoral club not strongly enlarged; metatarsomere I longer than II–V together. This is a very problematic genus, including species that evidently do not agree with the characters of the
type
species of the genus. According to
Nascimento
et al.
(2020)
: “Accordingly, any description or redescription must provide a good character or characters separating
Anisopodus
from
Hyperplatys
. While a complete and detailed revision of these two genera is not made, we believe that the following character set can be used to separate them:—
Anisopodus
: metafemora distinctly surpassing elytral apex in male (rarely not so); metafemoral club not strongly enlarged; metatarsomere I longer than II–V together;—
Hyperplatys
: metafemora not or slightly surpassing elytral apex in male; metafemoral club strongly enlarged; metatarsomere I not longer than II–V together.” Number of species currently included: 44.
