Diagnosis. Anopinella sympatrica is a comparatively large species with a darker forewing pattern than that of most congeners. As discussed above, the male genitalia are most similar to those of A. rigidana , from which they can be distinguished by the overall shape of the valva and the shape and position of the processes of the gnathos arms.
Description. Head: Frontoclypeus pale yellowish brown; vertex yellowish brown intermixed with pale yellow scales tipped with brown; labial palpus with outer surface brown, inner surface pale yellowish brown. Antenna with scape brown; basal 68 flagellomeres brown or reddish brown; distal flagellomeres pale brown.
Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum pale brown. Forewing (Fig. 86) length 8.212.0 mm (n = 3); basal fascia and costal blotch brown, intermixed with dark brown, separated by a band of pale brown intermixed with brown, reddish brown, and dark brown demarcating an subtriangular costal blotch, recurved from distal costa through subapical area to tornus, encircling an elongate, brown or pale brown ocellus, except on posterior part; posterior part of ocellus contiguous with dorsum; costal blotch with dark brown scales mostly on posterior half, and with small white spot near posterior end; apical forewing brown intermixed with pale brown; area between CuP and posterior margin brown intermixed with reddish brown. Fringe gray on inner half, reddish brown on outer portion. Hindwing pale brown, with irregular, grayish brown transverse bands, gradually darkening to apex.
Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Fig. 32; drawn from USNM slide 68840; n = 1) with uncus curved throughout. Tegumen broadly rounded dorsolaterally. Socii elongate, rigid, slender, gradually narrowed distally, ca. 0.75 length of basal portion of gnathos arms. Gnathos arms smooth, connected medially at ca. 0.65 length by an arched flange, distally bifurcate forming two divergent, flattened lobes, dorsal lobe smaller than ventral lobe. Valva with costa slightly curved from subbasal curve; ventral margin with distal termination of sacculus abruptly rounded; postsaccular region moderately concave, recurved to apicoventral angle; valva setose from cucullus to basal ridge; cucullus broadly rounded apically, basal 0.65 of outer margin straight, apicoventral angle acute. Phallus slightly narrowed; vesica sparsely microtrichiate. Female genitalia ( Fig. 53 View FIGURES 52 53 ; drawn from USNM slide 68566; n = 2) with weakly sclerotized, elongate, hourglassshaped mesal patch at lamella postvaginalis; eighth tergum with a median Tshaped process ( Fig. 53 View FIGURES 52 53 insert); ductus bursae long, slen der; inception of accessory bursae near junction of ductus bursae and corpus bursae. Corpus bursae moderately large, subspherical, weakly spiculate on 0.12 side bearing ductus seminalis.

Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the fact that this species occurs at the same locality as A. mariana .
