Abstract
The South American genus Anomiopsoides Blackwelder is revised and now includes five species: A. aurita (Burmeister), A. biloba (Burmeister), A. catamarcae Martínez, A. cavifrons (Burmeister), and A. heteroclyta (Blanchard). The following species names are new synonyms of A. heteroclyta (Blanchard): A. aberrans Martínez, A. pereirai (Martínez), and A. xerophila Martínez. The following variety is a new synonym of A. biloba (Burmeister): A. biloba var. schaeferi (Martínez). Descriptions, diagnosis illustrations, and distribution maps are provided for all species. A key to species of the genus is provided. The biology and the food relocation behavior of Anomiopsoides species are described. A checklist of the tribe Eucraniini is presented.
