Bryolymnia semifascia, the half-banded bryolymnia, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by John Bernhardt Smith in 1900. It is found in the US from northern Colorado and southern Utah southward to south-eastern Arizona and south-central New Mexico.
The wingspan is 26–29 mm. Adults have been collected from mid-June to mid-September in conifer forests.
The Noctuidae, commonly known as owlet moths, cutworms or armyworms, are the most controversial family in the superfamily Noctuoidea because many of the clades are constantly changing, along with the other families of the Noctuoidea. It was considered the largest family in Lepidoptera for a long time, but after regrouping Lymantriinae, Catocalinae and Calpinae within the family Erebidae, the latter holds this title now. Currently, Noctuidae is the second largest family in Noctuoidea, with about 1,089 genera and 11,772 species. However, this classification is still contingent, as more changes continue to appear between Noctuidae and Erebidae.
