Distribution and biology.

The subspecies H. ellenae robusta is known from the Prov. Sichuan, southwest China in Kukal-a-shan and Gonga ranges at an altitude 2850 m.

Remarks.

The subspecies H. ellenae robusta was described by male (holotype) and a female (paratype) from Prov. Sichuan (coll. ZSM). In the description of this taxon Boursin (1970) mentioned that the male genitalia are identical with other subspecies of H. ellenae . The male specimen from the collection of Mr. G. Behounek (Fig. 49 ) and its genitalia slide were compared with the type specimen of H. ellenae robusta and its genitalia preparation and found to be of the same species.
