Abstract

The species commonly known in the West Indies as the pepper flower-bud moth has been shown not to be Gnorimoschema gudmannella (Wlsm.), as hitherto supposed, but an undescribed species, for which the name Gnorimoschema capsica is proposed. The species is described and differentiated from G. gudmannella and other species in the Grnorimoschemini.
