It is easily recognized by their bright color patterns, mimicking some members of the Hymenoptera , especially Vespidae and Meliponini bees. 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).
