Is anyone familiar with this satyr? The label says Celebes but it doesn't match any that I've seen online or in books. Looks like a pearly-eye or wood nymph. Attachments:

I'm interested in knowing too. I collected one in my bait trap this summer and it doesn't look like any pearly eye I've ever saw.

Celebes is an island in Indonesia so maybe you should start there?

I've looked on the web resources for Sulawesi/Celebes species, and even through the D.Abrera volumes. Nothing matches.
Almost looks like a small brown Morpho but this doesn't match any of the other nymphalids either

Bear in mind that many tropical Asian Satyrinae have wet and dry season forms which look very different. The wet season forms have large ocelli, whereas in the dry season form of the same species the ocelli are very small or absent.

I didn't keep the specimen because it was damaged.

It looked like a Satyrodes appalachia but I'm just not sure.

Seems like the label was likely mismatched, as this looks like Pseudodebis valentina

Two things:
1.) Mr. Taylor: Satyrodes eurydice is another species that may occur in your area. It is smaller and more grayish in overall color.
Mr Rayard: can you post a photograph of the upper side. I have a bunch. (The last hunch I had got me married!)

I have a bunch. (The last hunch I had got me married!) it was uniform brown. It was determined to be a neotropical satyr, Pseudodebis valentina |
