(1) Debts portlandia (Fabricius), Plate L1X, rf (The 

 Pearly Eye). 



The butterfly which is well depicted in our figure has a 

 series of beautiful ocelli on the under side. There is no great 

 difference between the sexes. In the Northern States it is 

 single-brooded, in the South it is double-brooded. Expanse of 

 wing 1.75-2.00 inches. 



The caterpillar feeds on grasses. The insect ranges from 

 Maine to the Gulf, and westward to the Rocky Mountains. 



(2) Debis creola Skinner, Plate LX, d\(The Creole). 

 Easily distinguished from the foregoing by the elongated 



patches of dark raised scales upon the fore wings. Expanse 

 2.25 inches. The specimen figured is a paratype received 

 from the author of the species. 



Ranges from Florida to Mexico along the Gulf. 



GENUS SATYRODES SCUDDER 

 (THE GRASS-NYMPH). 



This genus was erected by its author to receive the single 

 species, which we figure. As there is no likelihood of mistaking 

 it for anything else, we forego a long generic description.
