Bryonympha silvana is a moth of the Immidae family and only species in the Bryonympha genus. It is found on the Comoros (Grande Comore).[1]
The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are green, irregularly sprinkled blackish with the costal edge whitish, on the basal fourth and a median spot dark grey. There are irregular ill-defined markings of black suffusion, consisting of some small spots near the base, costal spots at one-fourth and the middle and some marbling from three-fourth to near the apex, a vague streak from the first costal spot to the middle of the dorsum, a large blotch above the middle at two-thirds connected only by the black second discal stigma with a vague streak running to join the first streak on the middle of the dorsum, some marking towards the termen beneath the apex, and a spot on the tornus. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
