Doryodes tenuistriga is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough in 1918. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from costal Texas and Louisiana.[2]
The wingspan is about 33 mm for males and 41 mm for females.[3] The forewings are pale olive ocherous, broadly shaded with pale purplish along the costa and inner and outer margins. The hindwings are whitish.[4] Adults have been recorded on wing in October and November.
Habitat
Doryodes tenuistriga is a moth species native to the Gulf Coast of the United States. Its range extends from coastal Texas to Louisiana, including areas such as Brownsville, Texas, and Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The species inhabits coastal salt marshes and tidal creeks, often coexisting with other Doryodes species like D. broui, D. latistriga, and D. reineckei. These habitats are characterized by brackish waters and a mix of salt-tolerant vegetation, providing a suitable environment for the moths[5]
