Material.

Type material. Holotype: male: USA: Florida: Dade Co.: Everglades National Park, on side of road from Fla. 27, 25.28662°N 80.89865°W, 18 Jun 1965, W. R. Suter, ED_5198 (UCR_ENT 00090443) (FMNH).

Diagnosis.

Recognized among Glyptocombus species by males macropterous, general coloration light brown (Figure 1, G. suteri ), C+Sc not desclerotized basal to junction with R1, Cu separated from M by m-cu cross vein, Cu distal to tc straight, R2 straight, rc and dc longer than bc (Figure 2D). Most similar to G. halbertae based on wing type in males, but differentiated by details of wing venation.

Description.

Male (Figure 1): macropterous, length: 1.47 mm; body ovoid. Coloration: head and body tan, legs from middle of tibiae to pretarsus pale. Surface and Vestiture: in frontal orientation forefemur without anterior stout, long seta, hind tibia with 5 erect medium-length stout setae ventrally on distal half, second tarsomere of hind leg with stout seta anteroventrally (Figure 1). Structure. Head: disc declivous. Thorax: ratio of pronotal collar length to pronotum length 0.26, collar at same level as pronotum (Figure 1), postnotum trapezoidal, ratio of height of forefemur to length of forefemur 0.26, ratio of length of hind tibia to width of pronotum 0.94, venation of forewing as in Figure 2D, veins wider than cells. Genitalia: as in genus description (Figure 3A, B).

Female. Unknown.
