Glena quinquelinearia is most similar, including having a distinctly banded abdomen, however it is darker overall in color, the male antennae pectinations are shorter, and it is limited to Texas and New Mexico. (1)
Glena interpunctata is similar and its range largely overlaps the range of mcdunnougharia, however it is described by Rindge (1965) and Sperry (1952) without mention of noticeable banding of the abdomen, and the median line when present tends to merge toward the PM line at the inner margin. (1)(2)
