Erebia dabanensis is a small butterfly found in the East Palearctic that belongs to the browns family.

The underside of the forewing grey-brown, with an obsolescent russet brown distal band, the ocelli of which have a somewhat lighter border.

The ocelli which are situated in the somewhat lighter distal area are smaller than above, being sometimes altogether absent or replaced by small, hardly visible, black dots.

Before the outer margin there is a submarginal band composed of small obsolescent brown spots.

[now full species Erebia fletcheri ] of which we know only the figure of the single sure female captured by Fletcher at 7500 ft. in the Altai Mts., is we think nothing but a specimen of debanensis in which the reddish yellow borders of the ocelli of the forewing are merged on both sides to form a broad russet band.
