Diagnosis. Anopinella aurea is superficially most similar to A. phillipsae , with a pale subterminal line; however, it has a considerably greater forewing length and a much lighter ground color. The subbasally bent uncus, enlarged distal lobes of the gnathos, and distally attenuate valva are similar to several other species in the Fana Species Group (e.g., A. phillipsae , A. larana ). The densely spiculate corpus bursae, with spiculae extending posterad into the ductus bursae, also is characteristic of several species in the Fana Species Group (e.g., A. larana , A. brasiliana ). A complete description, illustrations of the male and female genitalia, and a color illustration of the adult can be found in Razowski and Becker (2000).
