Amphixystis anchiala
Amphixystis anchiala is a moth of the family Tineidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1909 and is found in Madagascar, Nigeria, and South Africa.
This species has a wingspan of 13 mm, the forewings are dark fuscous with a rather broad whitish-ochreous dorsal stripe from base to apex. Its appearance is similar to Amphixystis cymataula (Meyrick, 1926) from Zimbabwe, from which it can be distinguished by genitalia examination only.
