Diagnosis.—
Glyphidocera ollae
and can be distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of features: a wide upturned gnathos, angular apical furca of valval costa, and small apical cornutus of the aedeagal vesica.
Description.— Head: Vertex grayish brown; frontoclypeus with scales grayish brown tipped with pale yellow; outer surface of labial palpus grayish brown intermixed with paleyellow scales to near apical margin of segment II, inner surface as above but paler; scape of antenna brown intermixed with few paleyellow scales, flagellum with alternating bands of brown and palebrown scales; male

th flagellomere protuberant and curved, forming a deep concavity opposite slightly excavated
5
th and
6
th flagellomeres [setiform scales a apex of protuberance of
4
th flagellomere missing]; proboscis pale yellow intermixed with grayish brown scales.
Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum with scales grayish brown tipped with pale yellow intermixed with grayishbrown scales. Legs grayish brown intermixed with paleyellow scales near apices of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig.

): Length
6.4 mm
(n =

. Undersurface grayish brown. Hindwing: Pale yellow basally, darkening to grayish brown apically.
Abdomen (Fig.

transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental area between terga
2–3
.
Male Genitalia (Figs.
34–35
): Uncus elongate, broadly constricted above a wide base, narrowly rounded medially, gradually tapering to a rounded and setose apex; gnathos protuberant, upturned, wide throughout length, upturned apically; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent from a wide base, fusing slightly beneath the base of uncus; costa of valva gradually upturned, from a shallow depression beyond a basal digitate process to apical furca; furca acuminate; base of costa with a straight, digitate process with a slightly dilated base; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva slightly before midlength, widening distoventrally, forming an elongate and broadly rounded cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose; vesica of aedeagus denticulate, bearing a small, conical, apical cornutus; cornutus with one side shortened near midlength, exposing a hollow, basal cavity.
Female Genitalia: Unknown.
