- Glyphidocera aediculae, new species (Figs. 51–53, 304, Map 9) Diagnosis.— Glyphidocera adrogantiae, G. f a e c i s, and G. aediculae share an abdomen with sex scales between terga 2–3 and terga 3–4, a similar sized gnathos, an upturned costal furca of the valva, a wide cucullus of the valva, and a relatively small apical cornutus of the aedeagal vesica. However, G. a e d i c u l a e differs from the latter by having a shorter and more upturned costal furca of the valva, a shorter digitate process of the valva, and a shorter valva. Description.— Head: Scales of vertex and frontoclypeus grayish yellow tipped with pale grayish yellow; outer surface of labial palpus dark brown intermixed with grayishyellow scales, segment II with grayishyellow scales along apical margin; inner surface grayish yellow intermixed with darkbrown scales; scape of antenna grayish brown intermixed with darkbrown scales, flagellum with alternating bands of grayishyellow and brown scales; male 4 th flagellomere not protuberant, 5 th and 6 th flagellomeres slightly excavated; proboscis grayish yellow. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum grayish yellow intermixed with few darkbrown scales basally. Legs dark brown intermixed with few pale grayishyellow scales to apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres. Forewing (Fig. 304): Length 6.1 –7.0 mm (n = 15), grayish yellow intermixed with pale grayishyellow and darkbrown scales; cell and surrounding areas paler than marginal areas; cell with 2 faint brown spots, 1 near middle, 1 near distal end. Undersurface brown except, pale grayish yellow along posterior half. Hindwing: Brownish gray. Abdomen (Fig. 51): Male with 3 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental areas between terga 2–3 and terga 3–4. Sex scales on both regions are about equal in size. Male Genitalia (Figs. 52–53): Uncus elongate, broadly constricted above a wide base, apically rounded to an rounded apex; gnathos sparsely setose, protuberant, wide throughout length, upturned apically; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent from a narrow base, fusing medially from posteroventral margin to base of uncus; valva nearly straight from a shallow depression slightly beyond a basal digitate process to apical furca; furca short, acuminate, and slightly upturned; digitate process of valva short with a bulbous base; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva near midlength, widening distoventrally forming an elongate and broadly rounded cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose, with outer margin straight from costa to apicoventral angle; vesica of aedeagus sparsely denticulate, bearing a large, conical, apical cornutus; cornutus with one side shortened near midlength, exposing a hollow, basal cavity. Female Genitalia: Unknown. Holotype, ɗ, “Cerro Tortuguero, 0–120 m, P[arque] N[acional] Tortuguero, Prov[incia] Limón, COSTA RICA, Set., 1992, R.

Distribution (Map 9): Glyphidocera aediculae is known from two coastal collecting sites in northcentral Costa Rica along the Caribbean Sea. Etymology: The species epithet aediculae is derived from the Latin “aedicula,” meaning shrine.
