Notes on species
Lepindex lists Anonychia exilis Yazaki 1994 as a synonym of Anonychia grisea (Butler, 1883). The Forum Herbulot does not list Anonychia exilis Yazaki 1994 as a valid species. Kirti et al 2019 list both species as valid. 
Lepindex lists Anonychia violacea Moore, 1888 as a synonym of Anonychia strebla Prout 1926, which cannot be so, as the former has priority. The Forum Herbulot, too, lists Anonychia strebla Prout 1926 as a valid species but does not list Anonychia violacea Moore, 1888 as a valid species. Kirti et al. 2019 list both species as valid.
