Diagnosis. Anopinella panamana is a moderately small, yellowish brown species with a forewing pattern that is somewhat dissimilar to other species in the genus. It can be distinguished by the male genitalia which possess a long, evenly curved uncus; extremely short socii; dorsally protuberant distal lobes of the gnathos arms; and only a few spines from the ventral margin of the valva in the vicinity of the apicoventral angle.
Description. Head: Frontoclypeus white intermixed with yellowish brown and brownish orange; vertex yellowish brown intermixed with yellowish brown scales tipped with brown; labial palpus with outer surface yellowish brown intermixed with some brown scales, inner surface white with yellowish brown. Antenna with scape white intermixed with pale reddish brown; basal 6­7 flagellomeres reddish brown; distal flagellomeres yellowish brown.
Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum brown intermixed with white and yellowish brown. Forewing (Fig. 85) length 5.1­6.2 mm (mean = 5.7; n = 4); basal fascia and costal blotch brown intermixed with dark brown, reddish brown, and white, separated by a pale band of white intermixed with pale brown and reddish brown demarcating entire basal fascia and costal blotch, except for posterior end; band recurved from distal costa through subapical area to tornus, encircling an irregularly cresent­shaped ocellus, except for posterior end; costal blotch with small white spot near posterior end; area between CuP and posterior margin pale brown intermixed with pale reddish brown and dark brown; apical area white intermixed with brown and reddish brown. Fringe with inner portion gray and reddish brown, outer portion pale gray. Hindwing grayish brown.
Abdomen: Male genitalia (Fig. 30; drawn from USNM slide 69218; n = 3) with uncus comparative long, evenly curved throughout. Socius digitate, short, ca. 0.25 length of basal portion of gnathos arms. Gnathos arms slender, free distally, enlarged and abruptly curved dorsally in distal portion, forming a pair of laterally flattened, elongate lobes; apical margin of lobe ventrally protuberant. Valva subrectangular, gradually expanded from subbasal curve, costa nearly straight from subbasal curve to apex; valva setose from cucullus to basal ridge; cucullus with slightly rounded apex, outer margin broadly rounded from apicoventral angle to apex. Phallus simple, short; vesica densely microtrichiate. Female unknown.
