Description
GENUS ANCHOPHTHALMOPS KOCH, 1956, SENS. NOV.
= Platykochius Iwan, 2002a syn. nov. Type species: Selinus platessa Fairmaire, 1887; by original designation.
Type species: Anchophthalmops brevipleurum Koch, 1956; by original designation.
Diagnostic characters: Anchophthalmops, Eleoselinus, Monodius, and Selinus form a clade supported by two synapomorphies: trapezoidal apophyseal indentations of the pronotal disc (12:1) and a bellied intercoxal process of the prosternum (character 22:1). Within this group, Anchophthalmops most closely resembles Eleoselinus, as they share a similar structure of elytra (character 27:1).
Anchophthalmops is distinguished from all other Afrotropical platynotoid Platynotina by the following synapomorphies: a small scutellum (ratio of the width of a single elytra to the base of the scutellum> 15.0) (character 35:1) and a strongly widened lateral part of the base of the parameres (character 41:1).
Distribution: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, Somalia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe.
