Chelis kozlovi is a tiger moth species in the family Erebidae. It is found in northeastern Tibet (China, Qinghai). The species was first described by Vladimir Viktorovich Dubatolov in 2008.[1] The species name is after Pyotr Kozlov, a disciple of Nikolay Przhevalsky, who first collected the holotype in 1900.
This species was moved to Chelis as a result of phylogenetic research published by Rönkä et al. in 2016.[2]
Description
[edit]It has similar external characteristics as the species O. dalailama de Freina: head covered in long shaggy hairs; palpi porrect, short, with long hairs; eyes small and oval, without hairs, on a hairless Sclerite.[1]
