Bryolymnia mixta is a moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Donald Lafontaine and J. Walsh in 2010. It is known only from the Patagonia Mountains in south-eastern Arizona.

The length of the forewings is about 12 mm. Adults were collected in late June and mid-July.

Etymology[]

The specific name mixta is from the Latin mixtus, meaning mixed or mingled and refers to the blotchy confused appearance of the forewing spots.
