Atyeo (1969) later transferred Alloptes intermedius described by Trouessart and Neumann (1888) , on Elaenia martinica (Linnaeus, 1766) , to Anisophyllodes . The latter species was also reported by Cerny and Lukoschus (1975) from E. flavogaster (Thunberg, 1822) . The main diagnostic features separating this genus from other proctophyllodine genera are as follows: in both sexes, epimerites I free with diverging posterior tips; in males, opisthosoma attenuate to posterior end and with truncated opisthosomal lobes usually separated by slitlike terminal cleft; genital arch and aedeagus short, situated at the level of trochanters IV; setae g and ps3 arranged in a longitudinal rectangle; paired or unpaired pregenital plates are present; adanal shields present. Dimorphism of males was also noted for this genus: in heteromorph males, the opisthosomal lobes bear short and wide terminal lamellae and legs IV are thicker than legs III; in homeomorph males, the opisthosomal lobes lack terminal lamellae and legs III, IV are subequal in size. It is necessary to note that the original diagnosis ( Atyeo 1967 ) stated that dorsal setae e1 are absent in Anisophyllodes ; however, this character actually varies among species. In A. intermedius and in a new species described below these setae are present.
