Doryodes okaloosa is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by J. Donald Lafontaine and James Bolling Sullivan in 2015. It is found in the US in Okaloosa County, Florida and likely ranges south in the coastal brackish marshes toward the St. Petersburg/Tampa area and to the west along the Florida coast.

The length of the forewings is 16.5 mm. The forewing stripe is dark brown, narrower than for Doryodes spadaria but wider than for Doryodes desoto . The forewing is wider and browner than in Doryodes spadaria and Doryodes desoto , but not as wide as in Doryodes reineckei , and the longitudinal stripe is sharply defined, unlike that of Doryodes reineckei . The hindwings are white with a buff tinge. Adults are on wing in January, February and July.

Etymology

The species is named in honor of the Okaloosa, a tribe of the Creek Nation and longtime inhabitants of the area. [1]

Noctuidae Type of moths commonly known as owlet moths, cutworms or armyworms

The Noctuidae, commonly known as owlet moths, cutworms or armyworms, are the most controversial family in the superfamily Noctuoidea because many of the clades are constantly changing, along with the other families of the Noctuoidea. It was considered the largest family in Lepidoptera for a long time, but after regrouping Lymantriinae, Catocalinae and Calpinae within the family Erebidae, the latter holds this title now. Currently, Noctuidae is the second largest family in Noctuoidea, with about 1,089 genera and 11,772 species. However, this classification is still contingent, as more changes continue to appear between Noctuidae and Erebidae.
