Anchinia furculata is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1925. It is found in South Africa, [1] where it has been recorded from KwaZulu-Natal. [2]

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are whitish, irregularly sprinkled with purplish grey, with some black scales, the median third is faintly rosy tinged. There is a faint ferruginous tinge beneath the costa towards the base and there are seven cloudy spots of dark purplish-brown suffusion on the costa between one-fourth and the apex, these are darker and more defined posteriorly. A transverse black linear mark is found in the disc at two-fifths, sending posteriorly from its upper extremity a similar longitudinal mark. There is also an irregular partly transverse and partly longitudinal blackish spot in the discal two-thirds, with some brownish tinge above it. A subcostal series of several indistinct longitudinal marks of purple-brown and dark fuscous scales is found on the median third and there are two faint transverse shades of purplish-grey sprinkles posteriorly, somewhat bent above the middle. A marginal series of blackish marks is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are pale grey, whitish tinged towards the base. [3]
