Cybilla hubbardana is a poorly known species recorded from Arizona to western Texas. It was described from a small series of specimens from Tucson, Arizona reared from Koeberlinia spinosa (Koeberliniaceae) ( Busck 1907) (USNM). In general, the forewing of C. hubbardana has a pale cream ground color faintly reticulated with gray specks and a variably defined (usually ill-defined), slightly darker gray median fascia ( Fig. 5, 6 ). Specimens from Texas (USNM) have the basal half slightly paler buff, creating a slightly two-toned appearance between the basal and distal halves, divided by the median fascia. The male and female genitalia ( Figs. 22 , 36 ) are as described for the genus.

Reared specimens from Arizona eclosed primarily in May. Field collected specimens from Texas were collected in late May and early June.
