Common NameBroken-line Hypenodes SeasonalityAdults have been collected in Alberta from late June to mid-August. IdentificationA tiny (1.1-1.4 cm wingspan) long-winged light grey or dirty white moth with variable darker grey markings. The normal lines are usually incomplete and marked by a series of dots, and often there is a darker median shade. The terminal area is often darker, and the reniform is usually marked by two dark spots. The hindwings are paler. Possibly the smallest Noctuid moth in North America, and easy to overlook as a species of "micro". Bowman reported Alberta specimens as H. caducus.
