Dasychira basiflava (yellow-based tussock) is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is found from Massachusetts and southern Ontario west to Iowa, Texas, south to South Carolina and possibly Florida.
The wingspan is 30–39 mm for males and 42–54 mm for females. Adults are on wing from June to August in the north and earlier in spring in the south. There is one generation in most of the range, but a second generation can occur in the southern part of the range.
The larvae feed on oak, dogwood and blueberry.
