Diagnosis. Anopinella fana is most similar to A. brasiliana ; the two can be distinguished by differences in the shape of the uncus and cucullus. The female genitalia of A. fana are characterized by the corpus bursae bearing hair­like spicules on ca. 0.65 of the side opposite the inception of the ductus bursae, and the accessory bursae originating at the junction of the corpus bursae and the ductus bursae. The most conspicuous autapomorphy for A. fana is the distally enlarged uncus.

Description. Head: Frontoclypeus and vertex pale brown intermixed with dark brown; labial palpus with outer surface brown intermixed with dark brown, inner surface white. Antenna with scape pale brown intermixed with dark brown; flagellomeres pale brown.

Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum pale brown intermixed with reddish brown and dark brown. Forewing ( Fig. 73 ) length 7.9­8.9 mm (mean = 8.2; n = 4); incomplete basal fascia brown intermixed with reddish brown and dark brown; costal blotch dark brown intermixed with reddish brown and pale brown; basal fascia and costal blotch separated by an oblique band of pale brown intermixed with pale red scales demarcating basal fascia and costal blotch slightly beyond CuP; band recurved from distal costa through subapical area to tornus, encircling a wide crescent­shaped ocellus, except for posterior part; costal blotch with a small white spot near posterior end; area between CuP and posterior margin pale brown intermixed with pale reddish brown; apical area reddish brown intermixed with brown; submarginal area narrow, alternating brown and dark brown. Fringe with inner portion brown, outer portion pale reddish brown. Hindwing brown.

Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Fig. 17 ; drawn DA slide 4158; n = 2) with uncus acutely curved near base, with an enlarged and ventrally keeled apical end. Socius digitate, ca. 0.5 length of gnathos arms. Gnathos arms slender basally, dilated distally, each arm forming a laterally flattened, slender foot­shaped apical lobe with an entire outer margin; lobes connected dorsally by a thin, hood­like band. Valva densely setose from cucullus to basal ridge; ventral margin evenly and shallowly concave from subbasal area to apicoventral region; outer margin rounded. Phallus simple, phallobase slightly swollen, rounded; vesica sparsely microtrichiate. Female genitalia ( Fig. 44 ; drawn from USNM slide 82074; n = 2) with an weakly developed, elongate sclerotized patch at lamella postvaginalis; eighth tergum with a median longitudinal sinus; ostium compactly U­shaped, ca. 0.33 width of seventh sternum at widest point. Ductus bursae long, slender; inception of accessory bursae at anterior end of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae large, subspherical, with hair­like spicules on 0.65 of side opposite of ductus seminalis.

Etymology. The specific epithet is borrowed from the pattern of species names used by William Kearfott.
