Aulocera koiwayai Sakai, Aoki & Yamaguchi, 2001 Aulocera koiwayai Sakai, Aoki & Yamaguchi, 2001, Butterflies 30: 49, figs. 32–33, 76a, 81. TL: Qamdo, E. Tibet. Diagnosis. Aulocera koiwayai can be distinguished from A. ellenae by the combination of the following characters: 1) On the forewing dorsal side, the white postdiscal spots are enlarged, whereas they are narrow in A. ellenae; 2) On the hindwing dorsal side, the white discal band is broad, whereas it is reduced or vestigial in A. ellenae; 3) The basal parts of the androconial laminae (Figures 12c–d) are more rounded, whereas those of A. ellenae are more square (Figures 12a–b). The male genitalia of both species (Figures 11a–e) show no fundamental differences.
