description: <i>Glyphidocera advenae</i>, new species (Figs. 21–23, 294, Map 4) Diagnosis.— Relationships between <i>Glyphidocera advenae</i> and its congeners are difficult to determine because of the unique combination of features it possesses that include the absence of abdominal sex scales in the male, a small gnathos, a curved digitate process of the valva, a narrowly rounded costal furca of the valva, a slightly constricted apical part of the aedeagus, and an elongate apical cornutus of the aedeagal vesica. Description.— Head: Vertex and frontoclypeus brown; outer surface of labial palpus brown intermixed with few pale­brown scales, inner surface pale brown intermixed with few brown scales; apical area of segment II and entire length of segment III with raised scales; scape of antenna and basal half of flagellum brown, distal half with alternating bands of brown and pale­brown scales; male 4 th flagellomere dorsally protuberant and curved, forming a narrow and deep concavity opposite slightly excavated flagellomeres 5– 6; distal opening of concavity nearly closed by setiform scales on apex of 4 th flagellomere; proboscis brown. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum brown intermixed with few pale­brown scales. Foreleg brown with pale­brown scales on apical margins of all segments and tarsomeres, pterothoracic legs slightly paler than foreleg. Forewing (Fig. 294): Length 6.0– 6.9 mm (n = 7), brown intermixed with pale­brown scales; cell and surrounding areas paler than marginal areas; cell with 2 large brown spots, 1 near middle, 1 near distal end [some specimens with spots faint or rubbed]. Undersurface brown. Hindwing: Brown. Abdomen (Fig. 21): Male absent of sex scales on abdomen. Male Genitalia (Figs. 22–23): Uncus elongate, broadly constricted above a widened base, parallelsided to an acuminate and narrowly bifurcate apex; gnathos short, narrow, protuberant, slightly upturned apically; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut with arms fused medially along posteroventral margin, forming a widened base, extending dorsally, narrowing to base of uncus; valva with costa broadly rounded from a shallow depression beyond basal digitate process to apical furca; furca short, acuminate; base of costa bearing an laterally curved digitate process; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva before midlength, widening distoventrally, forming an elongate cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose, with a broadly rounded outer margin; aedeagus abruptly constricted subapically, forming a small, knoblike apex; vesica denticulate, bearing an elongate, conical, apical cornutus; cornutus with one side shortened near midlength, exposing a hollow, basal cavity. Female Genitalia: Unknown.
