Type species: Aneipo diva Kirkaldy 1906, by monotypy

Known species: Four species are known, variously distributed between NSW and Queensland

Comments: The genus is distinguished by the strongly depressed vertex with raised margins and the emarginate posterior margin. The margins of the frons are foliately elevated in this genus.

Lambkin (1978) redescribed each of the four Australian species and provided a key for their identification. A. diva and A. ceres are brightly coloured and more common than A. minerva and A. diana which lack the bright coloration and are known only from their type series.
