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 burpurae , new species (Figs. 123–125, 328 , Map 23 ) Diagnosis.— Relationships between Glyphidocera burpurae and its congeners are difficult to determine because of the unique combinations of features possessed by the former that include, with 4 short, transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on medial surface of intersegmental area between terga 2–3 in male, a wide gnathos, a valva with a basally widened and falcate costal furca, and an elongate and narrow apical cornutus of the aedeagal vesica. Description.— Head: Scales of vertex and frontoclypeus brown tipped with pale brown; outer surface of labial palpus brown intermixed with few pale­brown scales, segment II with pale­brown scales along apical margin; inner surface pale brown intermixed with few brown scales; scape of antenna brown intermixed with few pale­brown scales, flagellum with alternating bands of pale­brown and brown scales; male 4 th flagellomere distally dilated, protuberant and curved, forming a deep concavity opposite deeply excavated flagellomeres 5–6 ; proboscis pale brown. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum brown. Legs brown intermixed with pale­brown scales along apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig. 328 ): Length 5.0– 5.2 mm (n = 3 ), brown intermixed with pale­brown scales; cell with 2 faint brown spots, 1 spot near middle, 1 spot near distal end. Undersurface brown. Hindwing: Darker brown than forewing. Abdomen (Fig. 123 ): Male with 4 short, transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on medial surface of intersegmental area between terga 2–3 . Male Genitalia (Figs. 124–125 ): Uncus elongate, wide at base, gradually narrowed near 1 / 4 , parallsided apically, apex narrowly rounded and setose; gnathos protuberant, wide throughout length, upturned apically; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent, fusing medially and narrowly from posteroventral margin to base of uncus; costa of valva slightly upturned from a shallow depression beyond a basal digitate process to apical furca; furca falcate, with a wide base, and a small toothlike process beneath on posteroventral margin; sacculus twisted apically near midlength, constricting valva, widening distoventrally, forming an elongate and broadly rounded cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose; vesica of aedeagus sparsely denticulate, bearing a conical, apical cornutus; cornutus with a shortened side near midlength, exposing a hollow, basal cavity.
