Anomiopus Westwood, 1842

Notes

Anomiopus is a Neotropical genus with most species occurring in South America. The latest revision has 48 described species ( Canhedo 2004, Canhedo 2006). Most Anomiopus species are collected with flight interception traps (FIT), Malaise traps, pitfalls baited with human dung ( Canhedo 2006), light traps and bird faeces ( Martinez 1959). Some species were observed in the Colombian Amazon landing on leaves during the day ( Canhedo 2006). In our study, we found five species: Anomiopus aff. pereirari , Anomipus sp. 2, Anomiopus sp. 3, Anomiopus sp. 4 and Anomiopus sp. 5.
