Description.— Head: Vertex and frontoclypeus pale brownish yellow; outer surface of labial palpus pale yellowish brown intermixed with few brown scales, outer surface pale yellowish brown; scape and flagellum of antenna pale yellowish brown; male 4 th flagellomere distally dilated, protuberant and curved, forming a deep concavity opposite deeply excavated flagellomeres 5–6 ; concavity nearly closed by setiform scales on apex of protuberance of 4 th flagellomere; proboscis pale brownish yellow. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum pale brownish yellow. Legs pale brownish yellow or pale brownish yellow intermixed with few brown scales. Forewing (Fig. 326 ): Length 6.1 –6.9 mm (n = 4 ), pale brownish yellow or pale brownish yellow intermixed with few brown scales; cell with 2 spots, 1 near middle, 1 near distal end [specimens with spots present or absent]; marginal spots present or absent. Undersurface pale brownish yellow intermixed with few brown scales. Hindwing: Pale brownish yellow. Abdomen (Fig. 117 ): Male with 4 transverse, irregular rows of equal­sized sex scales on intersegmental membrane between terga 2–3 and terga 3–4 . Male Genitalia (Figs. 118–119 ): Uncus elongate, wide at base, parallelsided apically, apex slighted rounded and setose; gnathos sparsely setose, protuberant, wide basally, gradually narrowed to a spatulate apex; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent, fusing midway between posteroventral margin of tegumen, gradually widening to base of uncus; costa of valva nearly straight, apical furca falcate; base of costa bearing a slanted, digitate process; 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, with several small spinelike cornuti, and bearing an elongate, conical, apical cornutus; cornutus with one side shortened near midlength, exposing a hollow, basal cavity.

Distribution ( Map 22 ): Glyphidocera lupae is known from two collecting sites in north­central Costa Rica along the Cordillera Central. Etymology: The species epithet lupae is derived from the Latin “lupa,” meaning a shewolf.
