Glyphidocera eminetiae, new species (Figs. 90–92, 317, Map 17) Diagnosis.— Glyphidocera eminetiae is similar to G. gemmae but differs from the latter by having an upturned apical furca of the valval costa, a more angular distal part of the valva, and a smaller apical cornutus of the aedeagal vesica. Description.— Head: Vertex and frontoclypeus pale brownish yellow; outer surface of labial palpus pale brownish yellow intermixed with few brown scales, inner surface pale brownish yellow; scape of antenna pale brownish yellow, flagellum with alternating bands of pale brownish­yellow and brown scales; male 4 th flagellomere dorsally protuberant and curved, forming a deep 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 brownish yellow. Thorax: Tegula and mesonotum pale brownish yellow intermixed with few brown scales. Legs pale brownish yellow intermixed with few brown scales. Forewing (Fig. 317): Length 6.2–7.6 mm (n = 11), pale brownish yellow intermixed with brown scales; costa and distal 1 / 4 darker patterned; cell with 2 large spots, 1 near middle, 1 near distal end [some specimens with some or all spots absent]. Undersurface brownish gray. Hindwing: Pale brownish gray. Abdomen (Fig. 90): Male with 3–4 transverse, irregular rows of sex scales on intersegmental membrane between terga 2–3, and two small, elliptical­shaped clusters of sex scales on dorsolateral surface of intersegmental membrane between terga 3–4. Male Genitalia (Figs. 91–92): Uncus elongate, wide basally, broadly constricted near 2 / 3, apically widened, tapering to an acuminate and setose apex; gnathos sparsely setose, protuberant, narrow throughout length, apically upturned; tegumen slightly widened basally; dorsal strut of tegumen with arms convergent, fusing about 2 / 3 distance from posteroventral margin of tegumen, gradually widening dorsally to base of uncus; costa of valva nearly straight from base to subapical part; apical furca, acuminate, and slightly upturned; base of costa bearing a slanted digitate process; sacculus twisted apically, constricting valva near midlength, distoventrally forming a broadly rounded cucullus; cucullus membranous and setose; vesica sparsely spinulate, bearing a short, conical, apical cornutus; cornutus shortened on one side, exposing a hollow, basal cavity. Female Genitalia: Unknown. Holotype, ɗ, “Est[ación] Pitilla, 700 m, 9 km S S[an]ta Cecilia, P[arque] N[acional] Guanacaste, Prov[incia] Guanacaste, COSTA RICA, C.

Distribution (Map 17): Glyphidocera eminetiae is known from five collecting sites in northern Costa Rica; two nearby sites in the north­west along the Cordillera de Guanacaste, two nearby sites in the north­central part of the country along the Cordillera Central, and one site half way between Tortuguero and Barra del Colorado. Etymology: The species epithet eminetiae is derived from the Latin “eminetia,” meaning prominence.
