Description

Tribes in the subfamily Anabropsinae are distinguished from each other by the shape of the tenth abdominale tergite in males. While the tergite may be narrowed or hooked in other tribes, it is "normal and rather large" in Anabropsini.[2] Members of the tribe bear a "single, distinct longitudinal keel on the external pagina of the hind femur".[3]

Taxonomy

The tribe Anabropsini was erected in 1973 by David C. F. Rentz and David B. Weissman in the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.[1][3] The type genus Anabropsis was first formally described in 1901 by American entomologist James Abram Garfield Rehn.[4][5]
