Anypsipyla is a monotypic snout moth genus described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1914. Its only species, Anypsipyla univitella, was described by the same author in the same year.[1] It is found in Central America (including Panama,[2] Costa Rica and Guatemala), South America (Venezuela, Brazil, Peru and Ecuador) and has also been recorded from Cuba, Mexico,[3] Jamaica[4] and Florida[5] in the southern United States.[6]
The larvae feed on Samanea saman. They damage the seeds and pods of their host plant.[7]
