Diagnosis. Anopinella peruvensis is most similar to A. tucki , and it is possible that the two are conspecific. The male genitalia share an unmodified, bent uncus; short socii; a gnathos typical of the Fana Species Group; the absence of spines from the venter of the valva in the vicinity of the apicoventral angle; and a similar upturned apex of the valva. The genitalia of the holotype of A. peruvensis have a slightly more evenly rounded cucullus, a more pointed apex of the valva, and a distally broader phallus.

Description. Head: Frontoclypeus and vertex pale reddish brown intermixed with pale brown; labial palpus with outer surface brown, inner surface pale reddish brown. Antenna with scape and basal 8­10 flagellomeres pale reddish brown; distal flagellomeres gray.

Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum brown intermixed with reddish brown and dark brown. Forewing (Fig. 80) length 9.1­10.0 mm (n = 2); incomplete basal fascia and costal blotch brown intermixed with reddish brown, separated by an oblique pale reddish brown band demarcating anterior part of basal fascia and costal blotch to slightly beyond CuP; distal wing pale reddish brown intermixed with brown (band and ocellus indistinct), costal blotch with a subtriangular white spot near posterior end; area between CuP and posterior margin reddish brown intermixed with brown. Fringe alternating reddish brown and brown. Hindwing pale grayish brown.

Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Fig. 27 ; drawn from BMNH slide 29068; n = 1) with uncus bent at basal 0.2. Socius short, ca. 0.12 length of gnathos arms. Gnathos arms uniform in width in basal portion, abruptly widened distally into large, laterally flattened, semicircular lobes with entire margins; lobes connected by a narrow, dorsally arched flange. Valva densely setose submarginally from cucullus to basal ridge; costa broadly arched medially, recurved subapically forming an acuminate, falcate apex; sacculus slightly rounded; postsacculus slightly emarginate forming a broadly rounded apicoventral angle. Phallus simple; vesica sparsely microtrichiate. Female genitalia ( Fig. 51 ; drawn from BMNH slide 29069; n = 1) with anteriorly rounded sclerotized patch at lamella postvaginalis; eighth tergum with a median longitudinal sinus; ostium deeply U­shaped, ca. 0.5 width of seventh sternum. Ductus bursae long, very slender; inception of accessory bursae near junction of ductus bursae and corpus bursae. Corpus bursae large, subspherical, densely spiculate on 0.5 side bearing ductus seminalis.
