The Chumbi Wall (Chonala masoni) is a species of satyrine butterfly found in Bhutan, China and northeastern India.

The species is named as the Chumbi Wall after the Chumbi valley where it was "presumed" to have been collected by a native collector and passed on to H J Elwes in 1881 when he visited Sikkim with Godman. It was originally described as a species in the genus Debis.^[1]
