Abstract

The subfamily Glaphyriinae (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) is recorded from the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, for the first time on the basis of two species of Hellula Guenée, 1854: Hellula phidilealis (Walker, 1859) and H. galapagensis Landry sp. n. The new species is described and both species are illustrated. Two illustrated keys based on external characters and genitalia to the Neotropical species of Hellula are provided. Hellula phidilealis was reared on Cleome viscosa L. (Capparidaceae) in the Galapagos. Hellula kempae Munroe is reported from Cuba for the first time.
