The yellow-banded ringlet (Erebia flavofasciata) is a member of the subfamily Satyrinae of the family Nymphalidae.

[1] It is a high mountain butterfly found in a small area of the Alps in Switzerland and Italy.

Lieutenant-Colonel von Nolte obtained the first specimens in July 1893 in the Alps of Tessin in the Campolungo-Pass near Fusio.

The narrow russet-brown distal band of the forewing is separated by the veins into 5—6 rounded or ovate spots which bear small black dots; the spots in cellules 4 and 5 are generally somewhat elongate and bear a stronger black dot than the others.

The underside of the forewing greyish brown, the more yellow-brown distal band not separated into spots as above but continuous, also somewhat broader.
