''Chloronycta tybo'' is a moth in the Noctuidae family. It is found in the mountainous regions from Mexico to south-eastern Arizona and south-western New Mexico, north to the Sierra Madre Occidental. The habitat consists of canyons and mid-elevation wooded areas, particularly riparian corridors. The wingspan is about 34 mm for males and 36 mm for females. Adults are on wing in January and from July to September.〔(Bug Guide )〕 The larvae feed on ''Fraxinus velutina''. The first two larval instars are leaf skeletonizers that remove patches of leaf tissue from the lower leaf surface. Middle and late instars feed from a leaf edge, always from the underside of a blade. Last instar larva reach a length of about 26 mm. They are waxy green with a pale green head. Prior to pupation, the larvae tunnel into punky wood (when available) to form a pupal crypt. This crypt is largely free of silk, with the exception of that used to weave the frass-silk cover.〔 ''et al''. 2014: Polyphyly of lichen-cryptic dagger moths: synonymy of ''Agriopodes'' Hampson and description of a new basal acronictine genus, ''Chloronycta'', gen. n.
