Contents |
Anisoscelidini species are elongated with flattened tibia of the legs in the shape of a leaf. The antennae have the 2 and 3 segments flattened (Chondrocera sp.) or some species having the 2 and 3 segments terete, or cylindrical, slightly tapering at both ends, circular in cross section, and smooth-surfaced. The length of the first segment of the antennae is as long as the length of the anterior margin of the eye to the tarsus (Narnia sp.).[2]
The tribe is almost all confined to the Western Hemisphere and only found in neotropical environments. Three genera are found north of Mexico, and all can be found in Florida.[2]
