GRAMMIA DORIS DORIS (DRURY) (FIG. 4A, B)

Diagnosis: Distinguished from ssp. minea by the slightly larger size (mean forewing length = 21 mm), wider forewing bands, and smaller hindwing spots.

Biology: Adult collection dates range from late May to August, indicative of more than one generation; FL records are primarily for May and August.

Distribution: Southern TX and FL northwards; because of the paucity of specimens, the northern extent of ssp. doris in relation to ssp. minea is unclear.
