Doryodes fusselli is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by J. Donald Lafontaine and James Bolling Sullivan in 2015.
Spring males are larger than those of the summer and fall generations, so they are more easily confused with D. spadaria.
In late summer some males of D. spadaria can have white hindwings, but size ranges for the two species do not overlap in this generation.
Larvae have been reared on the leaves of Spartina alterniflora and fresh and wilted Bermuda grass.
The species is named in honor of John Fussell from Morehead City, North Carolina, who has worked tirelessly for decades to describe and protect the unique flora and fauna of the North Carolina coastal plain, particularly the Croatan National Forest.
