It can be recognized by the silver suffusion as well as the thickly marked silver median line in males and females (Fig. 35). This species is highly similar to <i>Chilo polychrysus</i> in habitus, which led to erroneous reports from the Philippines (Barrion et al., 1990). Examination of male genitalia (Fig. 95) enables unambiguous identification of this species: pars basalis at base of valva absent (thorn-shaped pars basalis at base of valva in <i>C. polychrysus</i>); saccus narrow, conspicuously protruding anterad; juxta with two medium-length symmetrical arms not extending beyond basal-costal angle of valva, straight (two arms curved around the phallus in <i>C. polychrysus</i>); phallus with ventro-lateral arms roughly curved, reaching subapical part of phallus (strongly curved, reaching apex of phallus in <i>C. polychrysus</i>); phallus with subapical conical bump and small bulbose basal projection (both absent in <i>C. polychrysus</i>). In female genitalia (Fig. 153), the following characters distinguish this species from congeneric species: short ring-shaped sclerotized antrum; ductus bursae narrow, ca 1.5 X length of corpus bursae; corpus bursae progressively widening, pear-shaped, without signum. <i>Chilo polychrysus</i> exhibits a conspicuous C-shaped sclerotization at antrum, on each side of ductus opening, which enables unambiguous recognition of the species.</p><p><b>DISTRIBUTION</b></p><p>Most of South-East Asia (Sugar Research Australia). PHILIPPINES: Luzon (Batangas, Cagayan, Laguna, Quezon, Zambales), Panay (Iloilo), Mindanao (Davao Oriental, Misamis Oriental, Sirugao del Sur) (Litsinger et al., 2011).

Haplotype network reconstruction including all available BOLD sequences reveal that the Philippine haplotype is identical to a haplotype found elsewhere in Australia and India.</p><p><b>REMARKS</b></p><p>This <i>Chilo</i> species is a pest of sugarcane in South-East Asia. It also feeds on rice, maize, and sorghum (Bleszynski, 1970c; Litsinger et al., 2011; Maes, 2022). In a survey of <i>Chilo</i> species on rice in the Philippines, <i>C. auricilius</i> accounted for 73% of the total number of specimens collected, while <i>C. polychrysus</i> was not recorded (Barrion et al., 1990). Broad distribution of <i>Chilo auricilius</i> over the Philippines is the result of rice culture expansion over the archipelago.</p>
