Family Glyphidoceridae (Glyphidocerid Moths)

Description of Glyphidoceridae

The family Glyphidoceridae is a group of small moths with only eight species represented in North America. They vary in color from from yellowish brown to dark brown with few, if any, markings. The group is defined by two characters: the forewing has CuA1 and CuA2 stalked and downcurved from the posterodistal angle of the medial cell, and R5 terminates on the outer margin.
