Aulocera brahminus

Aulocera brahminus, the narrow-banded satyr, is a brown (Satyrinae) butterfly that is found in the Himalayas.

[1][2] The butterfly is found in the Himalayas from Kashmir eastwards to Garhwal, Kumaon, Nepal and Sikkim.

[3] The barrow-banded satyrs are large powerfully built Himalayan butterflies which are black or very dark brown above.

In A. brahminus, the under-forewing apical ocellus is well-defined and prominently pupilled while in A. brahminoides it is less well defined, much smaller and darker.

The upper-hindwing discal band to dorsum, which is a characteristic feature in A. brahminus is much curved in the case of A.
