Abstract: Genus Anatrachyntis Meyrick, 1915 Anatrachyntis Meyrick, 1915: 325. Type species: Gracilaria [sic] falcatella Stainton, 1859, by original designation. Synonyms: Lacciferophaga Zagulajev, 1959; Sathrobrota Hodges, 1962; Amneris Riedl, 1993; Euamneris Riedl, 1996. The genus is characterized by forewings that are narrow to very narrowly lanceolate, with a ground colour usually reddish brown and with a pattern of irregular blackish brown and white streaks. The hindwings are very narrow and sharply pointed. In male genitalia, the brachia and anellus lobes are highly asymmetrical (Koster & Sinev 2003). It has a nearly worldwide distribution, with 60 species found mostly in the Oriental Region, but also known from Australia, New Zealand, Africa, South Europe, and America (Sinev 2002). In Korea, only one species, Anatrachyntis japonica Kuroko, 1982, has been recorded to date (Park 1983; Sinev & Park 1994).
