Abstract

Anchinia cristalis (Scopoli, 1763), a poorly known moth in Japan, is redescribed on the basis of specimens reared from larvae on leaves of Daphne jezoensis Maxim. (Thymelaeaceae) in Hokkaido, northern part of Japan. Information on its larval and pupal habit is given on the basis of observations on the Hokkaido population, throwing a doubt on previous reports. Proposals on the family-group placement of the genus Anchinia that were suggested in the past 30 years are reviewed and compared with each other. The proposal of Leraut (1997), placing Anchinia in the subfamily Hypercalliinae of the Oecophoridae sensu lato, is regarded as the most reasonable one at present.
