Status:

This species was described in Edda Martinez' unpublished revision of the genus Donacaula (Martinez, 2010). Some of the paratypes have Patuxent Research Wildlife Station, Prince George's County, Maryland as a locality, and it has been confirmed in the Patuxent Research Refuge North Tract in Anne Arundel County. The distribution in Maryland is likely more widespread. Adults of the species are best identified by dissection.

Relationships:

Larval host plants are unknown but are expected to be grasses (Poaeceae) and sedges (Cyperaceae) in wetlands (Martinez 2010).

There are 13 records in the project database.
