•Hi Fig. 34. Autophila cerealis amseli DRAUDT, 1936, Turkmenistan. Female genitalia Bionomics - The Pakistani subspecies inhabits dry, hot, often prominently xerothermic rocky slopes at medium-high altitudes of the larger stream valleys of the northern and north-western Himalayas and the southern part of the Karakoram Mts. The freshly emerged moths were found in July-August while the over wintering, usually rather worn moths were collected from mid-April to mid-June. The moths are attracted to light and were collected at an illuminated white screen with portable UV-traps; no specimen was found on the sugar baits. Distribution - The new subspecies is found along the higher areas of the Kaghan valley (a wide and long valley system in the south-western Himalayas in Pakistan) and the upper stream of the Indus (Scind) valley.
