Diagnostic description. Defined by the following combination of characters: (1) MF DFW white apical ocelli generally small. (2) MF DFW orange band moderately wide, somewhat diffuse. F DFW band moderately wide. (3) DFW iridescent band reaching CuA2 and sometimes surpassing this vein. F DFW iridescent band more diffuse and narrower than that of actorion , especially noticeable below CuA2 where the iridescence is less extended towards the tornus. (4) M DFW androconial organ on the CuA-CuA1-CuA2 intersection pale, contrasting scale color of surrounding area. (5) M DHW discal androconial pad varying from chocolate-brown to light brown, never darker than associated hairpencil. (6) M DHW discal hairpencil brown, similar in color to, or darker than discal androconial pad. (7) F VFW ripple pattern slightly less dense than that of M.

Etymology. This species is named after the Parecis (or Paresí), indigenous people from western Mato Grosso.

Type material. Holotype M ( Fig. 6 g), deposited in the DZUP collection, four labels separated by // and transcribed verbatim: HOLOTYPUS // Vilhena, RO[NDONIA], 26/IX/1986, C. Elias leg. Polonoroeste // DZ 22.646 // Holotypus Bia rebeli pareci Penz & DeVries, 2017 . Paratypes are listed in Appendix, and Fig. 6 h shows a paratype F.

Distribution and examined specimens. Fig. 12 and Appendix.

Remarks. Bia rebeli pareci is parapatric with rebeli arikeme . Based on photographs of specimens from the Eurides Furtado private collection (see Appendix), three male and two female specimens from Brazil, Mato Grosso, Diamantino, Alto Rio Arinos can be confidently identified as rebeli pareci .
