Remarks
The following description is specific to the two species of Caribbean Mictopsichia. Some characters mentioned may not apply to Mictopsichia jamaicana Razowski, 2009, which we were unable to examine. The majority of Mictopsichia, including the Caribbean species, may not be conspecific with Phalaena (Tortrix) hubneriana, the type species of Mictopsichia Hübner, [1825] 1816. See the comments below the Mictopsichia key and remarks under Mictocommosis lesleyae.
Redescription
Labial palpus approximately width of compound eye; ocellus large, separated from reduced compound eye by approximately width of ocellus; chaetosemata 0.25–0.75 × length of scales on vertex; dorsal surface of metathorax with dark silver scaling; foreleg significantly shorter than midleg and hindleg; forewing and hindwing pattern (Fig. 13D–G; Razowski 2009[1]: fig. 55) unlikely to be confused with any other Caribbean tortricid. Male genitalia (Fig. 20F, G) with uncus obsolete, socii composed of dorsally setose, acutely-pointed processes; gnathos composed of broad, laterally-rounded, quadrate mesal process; transtilla obsolete; valvae elongate and densely setose, with broad, scale-like setae present along ventral margin, thin hair-like setae scattered over entire surface, but most densely clustered along dorsal margin at 0.5 × length; submedian belt with several tooth-like dorsal projections. Female genitalia (Fig. 21F, G; Razowski 2009[1]: fig. 39) with papillae anales slender (triangular in Mictopsichia jamaicana), elongate, laterally-directed anteriorly; sterigma broad posteriorly, much more constricted and very deep anteriorly (except in Mictopsichia jamaicana); ostium similar in width to anterior portion of sterigma, colliculum a uniformly broad, ring-like structure (absent in Mictopsichia jamaicana); ductus bursae of uniform width; ductus seminalis arising at base of ductus bursae; sterigma well-developed, with or without parallel distinct rows of scobinations along wall of ductus bursae; capitulum absent; elongate basal plate present in Mictopsichia jamaicana.
