Doryodes latistriga is a moth of the Erebidae family. It is found in tidal creeks and salt marshes from Alabama to Louisiana.
The length of the forewings is 14.5–18 mm for males and 17.5–20 mm for females. The forewing ground color in spring and summer specimens is yellowish white to buff with grey streaking, the hindwing white to whitish buff. The forewing in fall and winter specimens darker with more brown shading, the hindwing variably suffused with brown, especially along wing margin. The longitudinal stripe broader than in any other species in genus. Adults are on wing throughout the year.
