Anopinella ophiodes (Walsingham, 1914) Figs. 3, 58 Tortrix ophiodes Walsingham 1914: 290. Anopinella ophiodes; Powell 1986: 394; Powell et al. 1995: 142. Diagnosis. Anopinella ophiodes shares a similar shaped valva with A. cartagoa, but can be distinguished from the latter by the much shorter uncus; narrower socii; laterally flattened, distal lobes of the gnathos with an irregularly serrate outer margin; and long hair­like microtrichiae of the vesica of the aedeagus. Anopinella ophiodes lacks the ventral, subapical lobe of the gnathos present in A. cartagoa. Putative autapomorphies for A. ophiodes include the dorsally narrowed tegumen and the unusual microtrichiae of the vesica. Redescription. Head: Frontoclypeus and vertex grayish white; labial palpus with outer surface pale gray intermixed with reddish brown, inner surface white. Antenna with scape brown intermixed with pale brown; basal 8­10 flagellomeres brown; distal flagellomeres gray. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum with grayish yellow scales, many tipped with reddish brown. Forewing (Fig. 58) length 6.1 mm (n = 1); incomplete basal fascia reddish brown intermixed with grayish brown; costal blotch brown, dark brown on posterior end; basal fascia and costal blotch separated by a yellowish brown oblique band demarcating costal blotch, recurved from distal costa through subapical area to tornus, encircling an elliptical ocellus, except on posterior end; costal blotch subtriangular, with a small, oblong, white spot near posterior end; area between CuP and dorsum pale reddish brown; apical area brown; submarginal band dark brown. Fringe with inner portion brown, outer portion pale brown. Hindwing grayish brown. Abdomen: Male genitalia (Fig. 3; drawn from BMNH slide 5799; n = 1) with tegumen narrowed dorsally; uncus relatively short, only slightly curved near apical 0.33. Socius moderately long, ca. equal in length to basal portion of gnathos arms. Gnathos with a pair of laterally flattened, distal lobes, with irregularly serrate outer margins; ventral part of lobes narrowly expanded. Valva moderately short, setose from cucullus to ca. 0.65 distoventral margin; costa nearly straight from subbasal curve; ventral margin with basal portion gently curved, distoventral margin slightly recurved to apicoventral angle, forming a broad cucullus; cucullus densely setose submarginally. Phallus simple, vesica densely microtrichiate, with slightly larger spines. Female unknown. Holotype, ɗ, Guatemala, Retalhulea, Las Mercedes, 3000' [923 m], Oct­Nov 1880, G. C. Champion. Deposited in BMNH.
