Larval substrate: Unknown
Phenology: Adult: 6/18 (1 record)

Comment: On Mass Moths previously called 'Dryadaula TM sp.1". There are several very similar and undescribed Dryadaula species known from North America. This however appears to correspond to D.visaliella, as it fits the original decription best, and is therefore tentatively placed here. The specimens on Bugguide and iNaturalist under D. visaliella are mostly what is called here "Dryadaula TM sp.2"
