Source-derived summary

Chlorochlamys phyllinaria, the thin-lined chlorochlamys moth, is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Georgia to California, northward in the central states to Nebraska.

The length of the forewings is 6–9 mm for males and 7–10.5 mm for females. Adults are usually on wing from June to September, but from March to November in the south-west.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Chlorochlamys phyllinaria” as species of insect. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Chlorochlamys, phyllinaria and species.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current 67-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Chlorochlamys, phyllinaria and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Chlorochlamys phyllinaria”, the useful work is to connect “species of insect” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q13465208. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
