Anopliomorpha hirsuta was described based on four specimens from Mexico. Accordingly to Linsley (1935), the holotype is a male, but the sex of the three paratypes was not informed, but at least one of them was considered as female by the author (“antennae slightly longer than the body in both sexes, densely ciliate within, segments three to five spinose at apex.”). We did not examine the holotype or the paratypes, but we believe that the former as well as the paratypes figured in Bezark (2017) are females. The true male of the species, we believe, is that figured in Maes et al. (2010: 183), which has the antennae distinctly longer than the body. Furthermore, Linsley pointed out that only the antennomeres III–V have spine at apex. However, the specimen examined by us has spine at apex of the antennomeres III–VII.

Currently, A. hirsuta is recorded from Mexico (Sinaloa, Mexico, Morelos), Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica ( Monné 2017a).
