Glyphidocera notae ADAMSKI, 2005, new species

(Figs. 105–107, 322, Map 20)

Diagnosis.— Glyphidocera notae is most similar to G. lanae but differs from the latter by having abdominal sex scales between terga 2–3 in male, and a broader valval cucullus.

Description.— Head: Scales on vertex and frontoclypeus grayish brown tipped with pale grayish brown; outer surface of labial palpus brown intermixed with pale grayish­yellow scales to apical margin of segment II, inner surface pale grayish yellow intermixed with few brown scales; scape pale grayish brown intermixed with few brown scales, flagellum with alternating bands of brown and pale­brown 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 pale grayish brown.

Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum pale grayish brown. Legs brown intermixed with pale brownish­yellow scales to apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres [some specimens with hindlegs pale brownish yellow with banding absent]. Forewing (Fig. 322): Length 6.5 –7.9 mm (n = 21), pale brownish yellow intermixed with few brown scales; cell with 2 large, brown spots, 1 near middle, 1 near distal end; one spot one CuP basal to midcell spot; marginal spots present or absent. Undersurface brown except, pale grayish­brown scales along costa. Hindwing: Pale gray intermixed sparsely with pale brownish­yellow scales.

Abdomen (Fig. 105): Male with 3 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental membrane between terga 2–3.

Male Genitalia (Figs. 106–107): Uncus elongate, wide at base, broadly constricted near midlength, broadly rounded apically, apex narrowly rounded and setose; gnathos setose, protuberant, narrow throughout length, upturned apically; tegumen slightly widened basally, dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent, fusing medially, gradually widening at constriction, beneath base of uncus; costa of valva broadly sloped downwards from a shallow depression slightly beyond a slanted, basal digitate process to apical furca; furca falcate; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva slightly before midlength, widening distoventrally, forming an elongate and broadly rounded cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose; vesica of aedeagus sparsely denticulate, bearing a stout, crescent­shaped, apical cornutus; cornutus slightly shortened on one side, exposing a hollow, basal cavity.

Female Genitalia: Unknown.

Distribution (Map 20): Glyphidocera notae is known from a single locality in northwestern Costa Rica along the Cordillera de Guanacaste.

Etymology: The species epithet notae is derived from the Latin “nota,” meaning mark.
