==Description== thumb|left|Profile of an anthicid thumb|Members of the genus Anthelephila are ant-like in superficial appearance. Their heads constrict just in front of the pronotum, forming a neck, and the posterior end of the pronotum is usually narrow as well. Legs and antennae are slender, heightening the ant-like appearance, and the body is sparsely covered with small hairs, called setae.
