Abstract

Scrobipalpula onorei sp. nov. is described from Las Pampas, Ecuador. The species is tentatively placed near Scrobipalpula densata (Meyrick, 1917) and S. caustonae Landry, 2010 based on both having a slender, elongate phallus and a bipartite corpus bursae without a signum. Eurysacca media Povoln, 1986 is recorded for the first time from Ecuador. Sexual dimorphism in structures of abdominal segments VIIVIII are described for the first time for E. media. The female of this species has patches of melanized scales on abdominal segment VII. The diagnosis of the species is updated with descriptions and illustration of additional details of external morphology and characters of male and female genitalia. We also provide an annotated list of Gnorimoschemini from Ecuador.
