The common name used here is of my invention. I thank John Glaser for identifying the first of these moths that I encountered, and James Adams for consultation regarding later ones. This is an intriguing moth and the smallest noctuid found in Maryland. One's immediate impression on seeing one is of a small Geometrid such as a Eupithecia. My imagine that they are probably sexually dimorphic with the females being somewhat larger and darker. Over a period of just a few nights I noticed substantial fading or wear.
