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 capsae , new species (Figs. 63–65, 308 , Map 11 ) Diagnosis.— Glyphidocera capsae is similar to G. audaciae but differs from the latter by having a wider gnathos, a wider distal part of valva, a larger costal furca of the valva, and a smaller 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 brownish­yellow scales, segment II with pale brownish­yellow scales along apical margin; inner surface pale brownish yellow intermixed with brown scales; scape of antenna brown intermixed with pale brownish­yellow scales, flagellum with alternating bands of brown and brownish­yellow scales; 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 brown with some scales tipped with pale brown. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum brown intermixed with brown scales tipped with pale brown. Legs brown intermixed with few pale­brown scales to near apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig. 308 ): Length 6.9 –8.0 mm (n = 12 ), brown intermixed with pale brownish­yellow and pale­brown scales; cell and surrounding areas paler than marginal areas; cell with 2 large brown spots, 1 near middle, 1 near distal end. Undersurface brown except, costa pale yellowish brown. Hindwing: Pale brown. Abdomen (Fig. 63 ): Male with 4 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental area between terga 2–3 and terga 3–4 . Sex scales between terga 2–3 appear slightly larger than the sex scales between terga 3–4 . Male Genitalia (Figs. 64–65 ): Uncus elongate, slightly constricted from a wide base, nearly parallelsided apically, apex acuminate and setose; gnathos setose, protuberant, wide throughout length, upturned apically, tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent from a narrow base, fused narrowly above posteroventral margin of tegumen, gradually widening, forming a triangular­shaped pigmented area below base of uncus; costa of valva nearly straight from a shallow depression slightly beyond a slightly curved, basal digitate process to apical furca; furca acuminate, dorsally excavated, slightly upturned; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva slightly before middle, widening distoventrally, forming an elongate, broadly rounded cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose; vesica of aedeagus denticulate, bearing a small, crescent­shaped apical cornutus; cornutus abruptly dilated basally, exposing a hollow, basal cavity.

Distribution ( Map 11 ): Glyphidocera capsae is known from five collecting sites; four nearby coastal sites in south­central Costa Rica , and one collecting site in the north­central part of the country. Etymology: The species epithet capsae is derived from the Latin “capsa,” meaning bookcase.
