This genus is composed of six valid species with a distribution apparently confined to the Amazon basin. Prior to this study, Anchieta was only known from Brazil and French Guiana (Penny & da Costa 1983 ; Ohl 2004 ). Two species, A. eurydella and A. remipes , are now known from Colombia . Knowledge on the biology of this genus is quite poor. A single study in southeastern Brazil , reported an association between A. fumosella Westwood and the solitary wasp Tripoxilum (Tripargylum) aestivale Richards (Crabronidae) ( Buys 2008 ).
