Aulocera swaha, the common satyr, is a brown (Satyrinae) butterfly that is found in the Himalayas.

[1][2] The butterfly is found in the Himalayas in Afghanistan,[1] and from Safed Koh, Astor, Chilas, Gilgit, Chitral, Kashmir and Kulu eastwards across to Sikkim.

[3][4] In 1932, William Harry Evans reported that the species was common from Chitral to Sikkim, and not rare westwards.

The band varies from white to bright yellow and narrows towards the dorsum on the hindwing which it never reaches (except rarely in the females).

The colour below is paler than that of the great satyr (Aulocera padma) which is a larger and more common butterfly.
