Anchinia is a genus of gelechioid moths.

Taxonomy

In some systematic layouts, it is placed in the subfamily Amphisbatinae of the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae). Delimitation of Amphisbatinae versus the closely related Depressariinae and Oecophorinae is a major problem of Gelechioidea taxonomy and systematics, and some authors separate the former two as full-blown families (Amphisbatidae and Depressariidae), and/or include the Amphisbatinae in Depressariinae (or Depressariidae), or merge them in the Oecophorinae outright.[1]

Species

The species of Anchinia are:[2]

  • Anchinia cristalis (Scopoli, 1763)
  • Anchinia daphnella (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775)
  • Anchinia furculata Meyrick, 1925
  • Anchinia grandis Stainton, 1867
