Glyphidocera basipunctella is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Adamski and Brown in 2001. It is found in Venezuela. [1]

The length of the forewings is 6.9 mm. The forewing colour consists of brownish orange intermixed with brown scales. There are discal spots present, one near the base and one near the apical end. There is a small dark-brown elliptical spot near the middle of the wing base. The marginal scales are brown. The hindwings are pale brown, the basal two-thirds with elongate scales.

Etymology

The species name refers to the dark brown elliptical spot at the base of the forewing and is derived from Latin basi (meaning base) and punctum (meaning small dot). [2]
