The hindwings are usually uniformly dark brown.〔(TOLweb )〕 The larvae feed on ''Yucca baccata'', ''Yucca treculeana'', ''Yucca torreyi'', ''Yucca schidigera'', ''Yucca glauca'', ''Yucca baileyi'', ''Yucca elata'' and ''Yucca verdiensis''. They feed on developing seeds. Pupation takes place in a cocoon in the soil. This species was called a "cheater" by its original describer because it lays eggs in the developing seeds and fruits of Yucca plants without pollinating the flowers, unlike other yucca moths. ==References==
