Anopinella panamana is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. Formally described by John W. Brown and David Adamski in 2003, it is named after the country in which it was discovered, Panama. It is endemic to Panama, where it is known only from the Río Trinidad. It is a somewhat small moth with a generally yellowish-brown appearance. Adults have a forewing length of 5.1–6.2 mm (0.20–0.24 in).
Taxonomy
The type specimen of Anopinella panamana, an adult male, was collected from the Río Trinidad in Panama in 1912 and deposited in the United States National Museum; however, it was only identified as a novel species much later. Anopinella panamana was formally described in 2003 by John W. Brown and David Adamski based on the aforementioned specimen. It is named after the country to which it is native. It is part of the fana species group within the genus Anopinella[1]
