Diagnosis. Anopinella holandia is a medium­sized species with forewing maculation somewhat similar to that of A. macrosema . It can be distinguished from all congeners by the unique shape of the valva; the large, evenly curved uncus (similar to that of A. panamana ); the short, sclerotized socii; and the dorsoventrally bifurcate apical lobes of the gnathos arms.

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

Thorax: Tegula brown intermixed with reddish brown and pale brown; mesonotum pale brown intermixed with brown laterally. Forewing (Fig. 83) length 9.1 mm (n =1); basal fascia incomplete, pale brown intermixed with brown and reddish brown; costal blotch brown intermixed with reddish brown and dark brown, mostly on posterior end; basal fascia and costal blotch separated by an oblique pale band of white intermixed with pale reddish brown and pale brown demarcating anterior part of basal fascia and costal blotch to slightly beyond CuP, recurved from distal costa through subapical area to tornus, completely encircling an elongate ocellus; ocellus with anterior part acuminate and inwardly curved, posterior part wide, rounded, brown intermixed with reddish brown; costal blotch with a subrectangular white spot near posterior end; area between CuP and posterior margin reddish brown intermixed with brown and pale brown; apical area pale brown intermixed with brown; submarginal area narrow. Fringe grayish brown [mostly missing]. Hindwing pale brown, with irregular, faint brown transverse bands, gradually darkening to apex.

Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Fig. 29 ; drawn from USNM slide 69502; n = 1) with uncus broadly curved from base to apex; apex weakly notched. Socius digitate, short, somewhat sclerotized, mostly attached to base of gnathos arms. Gnathos arms abruptly widened ca. 0.5 length, distal lobes laterally flattened with a dorsoventrally bifurcate apex. Valva gradually broadened and dorsally upcurved from base, with costa and ventral margin somewhat parallel­sided; densely setose from inner surface of cucullus to slightly beyond apicoventral angle; cucullus narrowly rounded along apical margin. Phallus simple, slightly narrowed medially; vesica densely microtrichiate. Female unknown.

Holotype, ɗ, Guatemala, Departmento Alto V.P., Fca. Holandia , near Santa Cruz, 23­ 24 Jun 1966, Flint & Ortiz. Deposited in USNM.

Etymology. The species name is derived from the type locality, Finca Holandia .
