Diagnosis. Anopinella carabayana is a medium­sized species with a dark brown hindwing, known only from the holotype male. The genitalia are similar to those of A. cafrosana in their nearly parallel­sided valvae. The broad, non­dentate, apical region of the distal lobe of the gnathos may represent an autapomorphy for A. carabayana .

Description. Head: Frontoclypeus and vertex pale brown intermixed with few brown scales; labial paplus with outer surface of segments I­II brown intermixed with white apically, segment III white intermixed with brown medially, inner surface white. Antenna with scape and basal 8­10 flagellomeres brown intermixed with reddish brown; distal flagellomeres gray.

Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum dark brown intermixed with reddish brown and pale brown. Forewing ( Fig. 69 ) length 7.5 mm (n = 1); incomplete basal fascia brown intermixed with reddish brown, separated by an oblique band of mostly white intermixed with pale reddish brown basally, distally pale reddish brown intermixed white demarcating anterior part of basal fascia and costal blotch to slightly beyond CuP, recurved from distal costa through subapical area to tornus, encircling an elongate ocellus, except for a narrow posterior part; ocellus pale brown, with serpentine inner margin; costal blotch dark brown, with a small subtriangular white spot near posterior end; area between CuP and posterior margin pale brown intermixed with pale reddish brown; apical area white intermixed with pale reddish brown; submarginal area narrow. Fringe reddish brown. Hindwing dark brown.

Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Fig. 12 ; drawn from BMNH 29094; n = 1) with uncus long, gradually curved from base. Socius narrow, digitate, short, less than 0.25 length of basal portion of gnathos arms. Gnathos arms wide, slightly broadened in apical 0.25, distally forming two laterally flattened, slightly upturned, broad lobes with entire margins. Valva nearly parallel­sided, only weakly broadened to apicoventral angle, densely setose from inner surface of cucullus to basal ridge; costa gradually curved dorsally from subbasal curve; ventral margin gradually curved dorsally, slightly recurved at apicoventral angle, forming an attenuate base for a stout seta; cucullus subtriangular, apex acuminate, outer margin widest at ca. midlength, recurved along basal 0.5. Phallus simple; vesica densely microtrichiate, with a slightly elongate, laterally flattened cornutus. Female unknown.

Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from Carabaya, Peru.
