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]
