Blepolenis is a Neotropical genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae and subfamily Morphinae.
They are large, brown butterflies with broad, rounded wings. The upperside is dark brown with a large, brownish-orange field at the base of each wing. The hindwing is grayish-brown, finely patterned (horizontally) with two large eyespots on each hindwing. The underside of the forewing has a broad, light field in the middle. ==Species== Blepolenis bassus (C. & R. Felder, [1867]) Blepolenis batea (Hübner, [1821]) Blepolenis catharinae (Stichel, 1902)
