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 speculae , new species (Figs. 228–230, 363 , Map 42 ) Diagnosis.— Glyphidocera speculae is most similar to G. vestita but differs from the latter by having an abdomen with more rows of sex scales between terga 2–3 in male, a tegumen that is narrower basally, wider costal furcae of valva, a more angular apicoventral margin of cucullus, and an apical cornutus without a bulbous base, and the absence of within vesica. Description.— Head: Vertex and frontoclypeus pale orange intermixed with few paleyellow scales; outer margin of labial palpus with segments I–II brown intermixed with pale­orange scales to apical margin, segment III brown with few pale­orange scales on apical half; inner surface pale orange intermixed with few brown scales; scape of antenna pale orange intermixed with few brown scales, flagellum with alternating bands of brown and pale­orange scales; male 4 th flagellomere dorsally protuberant and curved, forming a deep concavity opposite slightly excavated flagellomeres 5–6 ; concavity nearly closed by a few setiform scales on apex of protuberance of 4 th flagellomere; proboscis pale orange. Thorax: Tegula brown basally, pale orange distally; mesonotum pale orange. Legs pale yellow intermixed with pale­orange and few brown scales, pale yellow to apical margin of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig. 363 ): Length 6.9 mm (n = 1 ), pale orange intermixed with pale­yellow scales, and brown scales along costa and from near distal end of cell to margin. Undersurface brown. Hindwing: Pale brown. Abdomen (Fig. 228 ): Male with 5 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental area between terga 2–3 . Male Genitalia (Figs. 229–230 ): Uncus elongate, wide at base, broadly constricted at 1 / 3 , slightly rounded distally, apex narrowly rounded and setose; gnathos sparsely setose, protuberant, wide basally, gradually narrowing apically, upturned apically; tegumen narrow, slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent basally and dorsally, forming an elliptical­shaped sinus between points of constriction, dorsally atrophied; valva with costa slightly sloped from a shallow depression beyond a slanted, basal, digitate process to dorsal furca; apex widely bifurcate, furcae slightly divergent, dorsal furca large, falcate, ventral furca extending slightly beyond outer margin of cucullus; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva near midlength, widening distoventrally, forming an elongate and slightly angular cucullus; cucullus membranous, setose; vesica denticulate, bearing a moderately large, hornlike, apical cornutus; cornutus with one side slightly shortened, exposing a hollow, basal cavity.
