Members of this tribe are typically small-bodied compared to many other cerambycines. Some genera, such as Cyrtinus, exhibit pronounced -mimicry with humped and slow, ant-like movement. Antennal structure and leg proportions provide key characters for distinguishing Anaglyptini from the related tribe Clytini, with which it shares some superficial similarities.
