Glyphidocera
Glyphidocera is a genus of small moths in the family Autostichidae, subfamily Symmocinae. The genus contains numerous described species, with particularly high diversity documented in Central America—88 new species were described from Costa Rica alone in a 2005 revision. Species-level taxonomy relies heavily on genitalia morphology and wing venation patterns. The genus has been recorded from North, Central, and South America.
Sceptea
Sceptea is a genus of small moths in the family Autostichidae, subfamily Symmocinae. The genus was described by Walsingham in 1911 and contains two described species: Sceptea aequepulvella (Chambers, 1872) and Sceptea decedens Walsingham, 1911. The name derives from Greek σκεπτέα, meaning 'to be considered'. As a member of Autostichidae, it belongs to a diverse group of gelechioid moths often characterized by narrow wings and relatively inconspicuous coloration.
