SATYRIDiE. 



DEBIS. I. 



DEBIS ANYSIS. 1. 



Upperside. !Male, nifous-brown ; anterior wing crossed at the middle by a 

 band of darker brown ; posterior wing with a tuft of long hair in the middle, and 

 half-way between it and the outer margin four ocelli, the lower two only, with white 

 pupils, the iris indistinct light brown. 



Underside rufous ; anterior wing crossed by three bands of rufous-brown ; one 

 near the base : one a little beyond it crossing the cell only : the third beyond the 

 middle, followed by four nearly blind ocelli, though pujnlled with white, with a 

 rufous border above and below ; posterior wing crossed by two rufous bands ; oue 

 near the base : the other near the middle (curved), followed by seven ocelli ; the tirst 

 near the costal margin (largest), the seventh near the anal angle (minute, united to 

 the sixth) ; all black with white pupils, the iris rufous-orauge, bordered with black, 

 and again by rufous-yellow and rufous-brown ; the outer margin and a line near 

 it browu.

DEBIS MARPESSA. 2. 



Upperside dark brown. 



Underside rufous and grey-brown, paler near the outer margin ; both wings 

 crossed by three transverse undulating bauds of brown ; the first before the middle ; 

 the second at the middle ; the third near the outer margin ; the outer margins and a 

 submarginal line brown ; anterior wing with a pale rufous band at the end of the 

 cell, and five nearly blind ocelli, having white pupils ; posterior wing with three pale 

 rufous spots, and five ocelli ; the first, second, and fifth, black, the third and fourth 

 rufous ; all with white pupils and ill-defined rufous iris.

Not being able to find a place for this species in any of the South American genera, I have 

 added it to this genus. It might, perhaps, have been better placed with Tavgetis, but does not accord 

 with the characters there given by Mr. Westwood; its eyes are not smooth, and the second branch from 

 the subcostal nervure is not thrown off before the end of the cell. In its colour, in the position of the 

 spots and bands of the underside, it bears considerable resemblance to the species which I have figured 

 on the same plate under the name of D. Segonax. In its hirsute eyes and palpi, and the neuration of 

 the wings (except that the second branch of the subcostal nervure is not thrown off before the end of 

 the cell), it agrees verv well with Debis. 



DEBIS SICELIS. 3. 



Upperside. Female, yellow-brown. Anterior wing crossed near the middle 

 by an indistinct pale band ; posterior wing with indistinct submarginal lines and four 

 ocelli, two of them little more than minute brown spots, one only (the lowest) with 

 a white pupil.
