Chelis dubatolovi is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Saldaitis and Ivinskis in 2005. It is found in the south-western Altai (the Belukha Mountains) and south-western Tuva (the West Tanuola Mountains) in Russia. The habitat probably consists of mountain tundra.

The wingspan is 30-32 mm. The forewings are transparent black with yellow cross lines and spots. The hindwings are transparent black with a yellow spot at the marginal edge. Adults are active during the daytime.

The larvae are probably polyphagous.

This species was formerly a member of the genus Holoarctia, but was moved to Chelis along with the other species of the genera Holoarctia, Neoarctia, and Hyperborea.[1][2]

Etymology

The species is named after Russian entomologist Vladimir Dubatolov.[3]
