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 lawrenceae , new species (Figs. 99 – 99 a, 100–101, 320 , Map 19 ) Diagnosis.— Relationships between Glyphidocera lawrenceae and its congeners are difficult to determine because of the unique features possessed by the former that include a narrow, transverse, sclerotized band between terga 2–3 and terga 3–4 , posterior margin of fourth tergum emarginate medially, a pair of piliform sex­scale bundles on posterolateral margins of segment eight in male, small gnathos, a long digitate process of the valva, valva acutely constricted near 3 / 4 length, costa of valva curved dorsolaterally, and vesica of aedeagus with an elongate and narrow apical cornutus. Description.— Head: Vertex and frontoclypeus pale yellowish orange; outer surface of labial palpus brown intermixed with pale yellowish­orange scales to apical margin of segments I–II, inner surface pale yellowish orange; scape and flagellum of antenna pale yellowish orange; male 4 th flagellomere dorsally protuberant and curved, forming a shallow 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 yellowish orange. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum yellowish orange. Legs pale yellowish orange intermixed with few brown scales. Forewing (Fig. 320 ): Length 5.9 mm (n = 1 ), yellowish orange intermixed with pale­yellow scales and few brown scales along costa and area beyond cell; cell with 2 brown spots, 1 near middle, 1 near distal end. Undersurface pale brown intermixed with pale yellowish­orange scales along submarginal and marginal areas. Hindwing: Pale brown. Abdomen (Fig. 99 – 99 a): Male with a narrow, transverse, sclerotized band between terga 2–3 and terga 3–4 ; posterior margin of fourth tergum emarginate medially; eighth segment with two bundles of elongate piliform sex scales, each on posterolateral margin. Male Genitalia (Figs. 100–101 ): Uncus elongate, broadly constricted above a wide base, slightly widened apically, apex setose and acuminate; gnathos sparsely setose, protuberant, narrow throughout length, apically upturned; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent, fusing medially beneath base of uncus; costa of valva slightly downcurved from about 2 / 3 ; costa with a basally wide and acuminate apical furca; base of costa with a straight, elongate, digitate process; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva near 3 / 4 , widening distoventrally, forming an angular cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose; outer margin S­shaped; vesica of aedeagus denticulate [some large], bearing a narrow, elongate, apical cornutus. Female Genitalia: Unknown.
