26. Glyphidoceridae – glyphidocerid moths

Small (17–20 mm wingspan) moths with relatively wide wings. Superficially, adults resemble larger gelechiids, such as those of the genus Filatima , but can be distinguished by their broad, fan-shaped hindwings. Th e biology of this family is unknown.

Glyphidocerids were very recently assigned family status (Hodges 1999a). Fortynine species are known, all in the New World and all in the genus Glyphidocera . Eleven species are known in North America, one of which is known from AB. Th e group is in need of revision; many undescribed species have been collected, and no comprehensive works exist. Individual species have been described recently by Adamski and Brown (1987), Adamski (2000), and Adamski and Metzler (2000).
