Descriptions of Four New Species of Struthoscelis Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae: Oecophorinae), One from Area De Conservación Guanacaste, Northwestern Costa Rica, Providing the First Known Biology for the Genus, and Discovery of a Novel Wing Morphology in Males

Researchers have uncovered four new species of Struthoscelis, including one from the Area de Conservación Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica. Notably, this study provides the first known biology for the genus and identifies a novel male wing morphology, challenging existing generic diagnoses. The discovery was achieved through detailed morphological analysis and comparative illustrations, shedding light on the diversity and evolutionary intricacies of this lepidopteran group.
