Aulocera ellenae: Sakai, Aoki & Yamaguchi, 2001, Butterflies 30: 49, figs. 30–31, 76b, 80. Diagnosis. A) Aulocera ellenae can be distinguished from other congenerics by the combination of the following main characters: 1) On the forewing dorsal side, the postdiscal spots are small, discrete rather than continuous; 2) On the hindwing ventral side, all the veins are clearly outlined in white; 3) On the hindwing ventral side, the discal band forms a continuous, narrow white fascia. B) The differential diagnosis with its closely related species Aulocera koiwayai is given in the diagnosis section of the latter, below.
