ABSTRACT
In the early 1800s choreutid moths were grouped in Tineina, with the glyphipterigid genera near the tineoid moths and the choreutid genera near the tortricids. Prior to the discovery of new tropical and southern hemisphere species, most glyphipterigids were described in Glyphipterix. Most of the specimens were accumulated through the kind cooperation of a number of North American and European institutions and private collections. In addition to specimens accumulated from institutions, several hundred specimens were collected on field trips from 1973–1977, involving many new range extensions and additions of longer series for some species as well as some new species. The number of genitalic preparations usually involved several specimens of each sex from several localities over the range of the species as specimens were available; the number of slides studied is noted after the description of the genitalia for each species.
