Bryolymnia viridata (Harvey, 1876), comb. n. Figs 23, 24, 33, 41 Jaspidea viridata Harvey 1876: 35. Type material. Holotype ♁. Location of type unknown. Type locality: USA, California, San Diego. Other material examined and distribution. USA: California: Alameda Co., Los Angeles Co., San Diego Co., Sonoma Co. Remarks. This species previously has been associated with the genus Cryphia Hübner in the Bryophilinae. Chris Schmidt, working with DNA barcodes of Cryphia species noted that Cryphia viridata associated with Bryolymnia. Examination of the male genitalia confirmed this generic association. Th e male genitalia are more weakly sclerotized than most other Elaphriini, but the membranous transverse postmedial suture of the sacculus, and the membranous weak area on the costal margin of the valve associate this species with the Elaphriini, and the sclerotized plate on the dorsal rod extending from the base of the clasper to the dorsal margin of the valve associates it with Bryolymnia within the Elaphriini. Diagnosis. Bryolymnia viridata differs from all other congeners in the genus in having the forewing ground color almost entirely green. There usually is some fuscous shading over the ground, especially in the subterminal area, but not in the terminal area. In most specimens there is dark fuscous or black shading between the reniform and orbicular spots, on the costa above the orbicular spot, representing the upper part of the medial line, and on the costal part of the subterminal area. A rounded spot in the fold, possibly derived from the claviform spot, looks like a second orbicular spot and often has a similar dark central dot. Th e terminal line is a series of black dashes between the wing veins, and this in combination with a white fringe with black wedge-shaped spots at the end of the veins, give the fringe a checkered pattern. Forewing length ranges from 12 to 15 mm. Th e hindwing is white with a variable amount of fuscous on the veins, discal spot, postmedial line and terminal line. Females tend to have ...
