Anelaphus

Species of Anelaphus are nocturnally active with coarsely faceted eyes, dense pubescent patches at the apex of each antennal tubercle (rarely absent), antennae lacking carinae, antennomeres three and four, at least, mesally spinose or dentiform (very rarely lacking spines). Prosternal process arcuately declivous and expanded apically (rarely unexpanded at apex). Scutellum mostly densely pubescent. Pronotum distinctly punctate, rounded or nearly straight at sides and lacking lateral tubercles, as wide as or wider than long (rarely longer than wide). Antennomere three short, one-half to two-thirds the length of the pronotum (rarely over two-thirds). Antennae of males extending beyond elytral apices by no more than two antennomeres; antennae of females not or barely attaining elytral apices. Elytral apices rounded apicolaterally (rarely spinose or dentiform apicolaterally). Pronotum with a medial impunctate callus (rarely absent). Femora gradually expanded medially, femoral apices rounded. Dorsal integument light to dark brown. Length of nearly all specimens 10–20 mm.
