Anidrytus Gerstaecker, 1858: 256 .

Type species: Anidrytus bipunctatus Gerstaecker, 1858 .

This genus contains 54 species distributed from México to South America (Strohecker 1997) . The reported distribution in México is restricted to the southern states of Chiapas and Yucatan. Very little is known about the biology of the Mexican species; one specimen of A. mexicanus Strohecker was collected in a bromelid plant. Although Strohecker (1997) made a catalogue of all known species, he did not provide a key for their identification, which is mainly based on a comparison of male genitalia. McHugh & Pakaluk (1997) described immature stages. Two species in México, and probably one unnamed species.
