Sparganothoides capitiornata Kruse and Powell , new species Figs. 27 , 51 , 82 Diagnosis . Sparganothoides capitiornata is very similar to S. canorisana , but the shape of the apex of the uncus (with minute cylindrical processes in S. capitiornata compared to subrectangular in S. canorisana ) and the shape of the apical portion of the socii/gnathos arm (a treble clef-shaped lobe in S. canorisana compared to mitten-shaped in S. capitiornata ) clearly separate the two. Description . Male . Head : Frons yellowish brown, smooth scaled; vertex roughened laterally, yellowish brown to brown; two large exoskeletal protuberances between mesal-posterior margins of compound eyes, angled toward middle; one large conical protuberance between antennae; broad area of densely packed, short, yellowish brown scales between anterior and posterior protuberances; short, erect, yellowish white scales between posterior protuberances. Labial palpus white mesally, yellowish brown to brown laterally. Antennal scaling yellowish brown to brown. Thorax : Smooth scaled laterally, yellowish brown or brown, dense column of short yellowish white to brownish yellow scales mesally; tegula with clump small orange or brown pointed scales at apex giving tegula truncate appearance. Forewing length 9.1–10.2 mm (= 9.7; n = 10). Forewing costal fold extending slightly less than half of wing length, costa curled beyond middle of wing; forewing ground color yellowish brown to brown, with heavy scattering of brown scales and spots; tornal mark represented by small brown spot dorsad, or absent; indistinct brown and orange transverse strigulae throughout subterminal and terminal areas; some specimens with irridescent purple scales associated with strigulae; often with brown spot at apex of discal cell. Fringe yellowish brown. Hindwing gray, often with diffuse dense gray transverse striae throughout. Abdomen : Genitalia ( Fig. 27 ; slide #JJK298; NMNH; Guatemala , Volcán Santa María; n = 7) uncus long, slender, curved, with long setae dorsally and lacking a distinct patch of small setae ventrally, ovately widened subapically, with two minute cylindrical processes apically; tegumen raised and rounded at base of uncus; socius narrowly rounded to subtriangular posteriorly, secondary arms long, slender, abruptly angled near middle, enlarged apices strongly asymmetrically bilobed, somewhat mitten-shaped; transtilla sclerotized, conspicuously bilobed, spines large, numerous over middle one-third of posterior margin, anterior process reinforced with invagination at middle; valva subrectangular with sclerotized, curved crease connecting to near base of sacculus and extending over two-thirds of valva; costa concavely curved; sacculus convex; pulvinus present; phallus pistol-shaped, aedeagus parallel-sided, slightly curved, shorter than phallobase, with ventral lip apically, attached to juxta by a thin process; phallobase long, with a short bulb; cornuti with minute spine near base. Female . Head, Thorax : Essentially as described for male. Forewing length 9.9–10.7 mm (= 10.1; n = 4). Abdomen : Genitalia ( Fig. 51 ; slide #JJK297; NMNH; Guatemala , Volcán Santa María; n = 4) with papillae anales parallel-sided, subtriangular posteriorly; sterigma srtrongly sclerotized ventrally, concave anteriorly; ductus bursae short, widened anteriorly; corpus bursae large, irregularly rounded; signum more than three times as long as wide, simple, weakly curved, rounded at apices.

GUATEMALA : Volcán Santa María , vii.[no year] ( 7♂ , 2♀ ), Schaus & Barnes Collection ( EME , NMNH ), vi.[no year] ( 4♂ , 2♀ ), x.[no year] ( 1♂ ), xi.[no year] ( 2♂ ), Schaus & Barnes Collection ( NMNH ) . Immature stages . Unknown. Biology . This species has been captured in June and July and in October and November, suggesting two broods annually. Etymology . The name was proposed by Lambert (1950) and is derived from the Latin “capitis” (= head) and “ornatus” (= ornament), referring to the protuberances of the head.
