Chlamydastis hemichlora is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is 26–28 mm for males and about 38 mm for females. The forewings are dark brown, partially suffused with purplish-fuscous, and irregularly marked with dull light green, the dorsal half almost wholly dull light green. The plical and second discal stigmata are raised, transverse-linear and blackish. There is a subterminal line indistinctly indicated by some blackish dots or marks, in females forming strong blackish marks between the veins towards the middle of the termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
