Chelis gratiosa is a moth in the family Erebidae. It was described by Grigory Grum-Grshimailo in 1890. It is found in the western Tien Shan, the Pamir-Alay, Kyrgyzstan, Turkestan, Hissar, Trans-Alai, the Pamir Mountains, Pakistan, Kashmir and western China.[1]
This species was moved from the genus Palearctia to Chelis as a result of phylogenetic research published in 2016.[2][3]
