Description
Hemipeplus anishae is characterized by its dark, shiny appearance and the absence of temples, which is a distinctive feature of this species. The scape is elongate, and the eyes are large, wide, and strongly convex, about the same length as the combined scape and pedicel. The pronotum is subcordiform with a deep anterior emargination, and its lateral margins are sinuate with the anterolateral angles broadly rounded. The elytra are elongate, more or less flat, and rufopiceous in color, with an overall shiny appearance. The ventral surface of the beetle is similarly rufopiceous, with hypomera piceous, and the legs are the same colour as the body, with lighter tarsi.
