Hellinsia obandoi GIELIS, 1999

Costa Rica
Type locality: Puntarenas, Estacion La Casona, 1250 m
Left valve with long, slender saccular spine. Right valve with small saccular knob. The species closely resembles Hellinsia phlegmatica Walsingham, but differs in the more developed markings and in the male genitalia by the absence of the saccular spine in the middle of the right valve.
