Diagnosis. Eupinivora hamartopenis is superficially nearly indistinguishable from E. ponderosae. However, the two are easily distinguished by features of the male genitalia. In E. harmatopenis the uncus is slightly concave apically (vs. truncate-rounded in ponderosae); the median process of the transtilla is long, attenuate and bifurcate distally (vs. stout medially with numerous long spine-like processes in ponderosae); and the sacculus has long spines, especially in the distal 0.6 (vs. weakly dentate in ponderosae). The female genitalia are distinguish by a reduction in the density of spiculae in the corpus bursae.
Description. Head: Vertex and frons white; scaling on antenna white; labial palpus white medially, pale orange laterally. Thorax: Nota white with some pale orange scaling, tegula pale orange; fore- and midleg mostly pale orange brown, hindleg mostly white. Forewing length 7.5–8.5 (mean = 8.3; n = 5) in males, 8.5–9.0 (mean = 8.6; n = 2) in females; forewing (Fig. 6) ground color whitish in form of a longitudinal fascia extending from near base to middle of wing, attenuate toward discal area, expanding beyond distal cell toward termen, partially fused with pale grayish costal area; remainder of wing dark orange ferruginous to golden orange. Fringe whitish. Hindwing pale grayish brown. Fringe pale gray mixed with cream. Abdomen: White. Male genitalia (Fig. 12) with uncus short, broad, slightly concave apically; socii broad, semicircular, pendant; median part of transtilla long, attenuate distally, bifurcate apically; valva broadest at base, rounded apically, costa gently convex, ventral edge evenly rounded, sacculus strongly sclerotized dorsally, with dense long, slender spines and large, spined, free termination; phallus broad, expanding postmedially, with a pair of terminal processes and a small dorsal prominence armed with two pairs of spine-shaped processes. Female genitalia (Fig. 16) with lamellae antevaginalis bearing a weak, rounded-triangular sclerite mesially, and a pair of long-rectangular, lateral lobes, closely approaching each other mesially; lamellae postvaginalis with a narrow sclerotized ribbon; ductus bursae short, not differentiated from corpus bursae, ductus seminalis [inconspicuous in figure] lateral, originating before middle of corpus bursae.

Distribution and biology. Eupinivora hamartopenis is known only from the type locality in Durango, Mexico. Although the early stages are unknown, it is suspected to be pine-feeder.
Etymology. Presumably from the Greek “hamarto” (sin, error) and “penis” or intromittent organ.
