Review of Glyphidocera Walsingham of Costa Rica (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea: Glyphidoceridae) Author DAVID ADAMSKI text Zootaxa 2005 858 1 158 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.170793 94a0cedb-15bb-4bfd-955e-77200a536045 1175-5334 170793 511FBF55-10F2-4A00-B15B-CBD34EAB023E Glyphidocera gemmae , new species (Figs. 30–32, 303 , Map 6 ) Diagnosis.— Glyphidocera gemmae is similar to G. eminetiae but differs from the latter by having a straight apical furca of the valval costa, a less angular distal part of the valva, and a larger apical cornutus of the aedeagal vesica Description.— Head: Scales of vertex and frontoclypeus brown tipped with pale brown; scape pale brown, flagellum pale brown; male 4 th flagellomere not protuberant, 5 th and 6 th flagellomeres slightly excavated; proboscis pale brown. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum pale brown. Legs brown intermixed with pale­brown scales to apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig. 303 ): Length 5.3– 5.8 mm (n = 2 ), costa and distal 1 / 3 brown intermixed with pale­brown scales; cell and surrounding areas of cell paler than marginal areas; cell with 2 brown spots, 1 near middle, 1 near distal end, CuP with a small brown spot slightly basal and posterior to midcell spot [one specimen with wing spots absent]. Undersurface pale brown. Hindwing: Pale brown. Abdomen (Fig. 30 ): Male with 4 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental area between segments 2–3 , and with two elliptical­shaped clusters of sex scales, formed by 3–4 short, irregular rows of scales, on intersegmental area between terga 3–4 . Male Genitalia (Figs. 31–32 ): Uncus elongate, broadly constricted above a widened base, broadly rounded medially, gradually tapering to an acuminate and setose apex; gnathos setose, protuberant, wide throughout length, apically upturned; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms fusing medially, dorsally atrophied; costa of valva nearly straight from a shallow depression beyond a slightly downturned, basal digitate process to apical furca; furca slightly upturned, nearly as long as width distal valva; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva before midlength, widening distoventrally, forming an elongate and broadly rounded cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose; vesica of aedeagus denticulate, bearing a large, conical, apical cornutus; cornutus with one side shortened near midlength, exposing a hollow, basal cavity. Female Genitalia: Unknown. Holotype , ɗ, “Est[ación] Sirena, 0–100 m , P[arque] N[acional] Corcovado, Prov[incia] Punt[arenas], COSTA RICA , G.
