Subgenus Anadaptus Casey, 1914

Anadaptus Casey, 1914: 203. Type species: Anisodactylus discoideus Dejean, 1831 designated by Lindroth (1968: 838). Etymology. From the Greek ana (upward, outward) and the generic name Daptus , alluding to the possibility of a close relationship between members of this taxon and those of Daptus ("this is one of the most interesting genera ... and the outward suggestion of Daptus may not be so very fanciful after all") [masculine].

Diversity.

Seven species in North America (six species) and Mexico ( Anadaptus rotundangulus Bates).

Identification.

Noonan (2001) revised the species and provided a key for their identification.
