Clemens' original description of arcanellus probably did not actually 

 appear in print until sometime in 1860. It is quoted as follows: 



Anaphora arcanella — Palpi luteous brown in front, dark brown externally. 

 Thorax dark brown, almost blackish. Fore wings dark brown, with an obscure 

 purplish hue; with luteous brown on the disc and in the fold, interrupted by a 

 blackish brown, nearly square, submedian spot in the fold and a small one near 

 its base of the same hue — sometimes merely a few blackish brown scales — with 

 an irregular blackish brown spot on the end of the disc, and the costa and apical 

 portion of the wing dusted and dotted, sometimes striated with blackish brown. 

 Hind wings dark brown, tinged with blackish. Exp. al. 12 lines (about 25.5 mm.). 

 Female not known. 



Clemens mentioned elsewhere in his paper that the labial palpi of 

 arcanellus were "ascending, but not recurved," due to the fact that 

 they were shorter than those of the cf' cf of popeanellus and plumi- 

 irontellus. 



Walsingham (1887, p. 171) made the following comments on 

 Clemens' original description of arcanellus: 



To this may be added: — Antennae slightly serrated towards apex. Fore wings 

 with 12 veins, all separate; apical vein not forked. Hind wings 8 veins, also 

 separate, 7 and 8 parallel. Lateral claspers slender, widening slightly towards 

 their posterior extremities, which are rather square. Uncus double, rather 

 abruptly bent over, but not angulated, the points parallel, separated by about 

 the width of one of them. 



At the same time, Walsingham (1887, pi. 8, fig. 25) furnished several 

 illustrations of the d^ genitalia of this species. These consisted of 

 the uncus in dorsal and lateral aspects and the cucullus of the harpe 

 in lateral aspect. 



Beutenratiller (1888) briefly described the 9 of ^^Pseudanaphora 

 arcanella" as follows: 



The ? of this species, which has hitherto remained undescribed, differs from 

 the male only in size, and short porrected labial palpi. Expanse of wings 32 mm. 

 Length of palpi 1.50 mm.
