Other Common Names
Long-winged Doryodes Moth (Grandipennis, latin for "great wings", was originally described as a race of the smaller Doryodes bistrialis. Continued application of the common name to the race grandipennis may no longer be appropriate since size cannot be used to separate race grandipennis from the nominate race, spadaria.)
Synonyms and other taxonomic changes
Doryodes spadaria Guenée, [1858] (1)
Themma divisa Walker, 1863
Tunza promptella Walker, 1863
Doryodes spadaria race grandipennis Barnes & McDunnough, 1918 (1)
* phylogenetic sequence #930927
Explanation of Names
Specific epithet grandipennis is Latin meaning "large wing."
Numbers
The taxon, grandipennis, was originally described as a race of spadaria Guenée. It was elevated to species and then later placed back in synonymy in Lafontaine & Sullivan (2015) (1).
Size
"forewing length: ♂ 13–20 mm, most commonly 16–18 mm; ♀ 18–21 mm, most commonly 19 mm" (1)
Range
Eastern Quebec to southern Florida (1)
Habitat
Coastal salt marsh. (2) (3) (1)

Doryodes fusselli - D. spadaria cannot be easily separated from the smaller D. fusselli, a species known only from Dare County south to Brunswick and New Hanover counties in NC as of 2016. D. fusselli is intermediate between D. spadaria and D. bistrialis in size and appearance.(1)
