The differences between Anti-Heroes and Anti-Villains is that Anti-Heroes are good guys with darker or 'questionable', usually pragmatic morals. They're on the hero's side, but they generally aren't afraid to get their hands dirty to get what they want.

Anti-Villains are the opposite: They're bad guys with more noble morals. While they may want to conquer the world, they're usually seen following a sort of 'code of honor', such as refraining from resorting to dirty tricks, cheap shots, and they often keep their word when it comes to promises; No wriggling out in your favor due to lack of specifications. ("I kept my word and I'm letting her go, but you didn't specify when or where! *drops girl in the ocean*)
