more so than in the male. 
Hemelytra: length .85 mm., barely meeting at the suture behind the scu-

This interesting species was taken only in the desert regions 
and is nocturnal in its habits, as are the other members of the 
genus. The type female though wingless had crawled up onto

species in Colorado and noctuans in Ohio, both occurring on 
grasses. It is evident that these species hide away during the day 
time and become active only at night. 
“The type specimen of the noctuid moth, Dasyspondea lucens Morrison, 
heretofore considered as lost, has been located by Mr. Doll and is now 
deposited in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum of Arts and Sciences.”
