Abstract: Holcocera gozmanyi sp. n. is described herein and represents the only known species within the genus from the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Illustrations of the head, wing venation, and male and female genitalia are included in addition to photographs of the holotype, the female wing coupling system, the abdomen, and a female paratype. Autapomorphies for H. gozmanyi, such as the absence of the aedeagal sclerite, the female retinaculum with a short row of long bristlelike setae on the cubitus, and the male and female with paired subtriangular patches of transverse, irregular rows of spinelike setae on the abdominal terga are not known to occur in other Blastobasinae. A key to the three species of Blastobasinae (Coleophoridae) known from the Galapagos Islands is provided, along with new host plant data for Blastobasis normalis (Meyrick, 1926) and Calosima darwini Adamski et Landry, 1997.
