Nomenclature
- Named for Ernst Debes (1840-1923), a German cartographer. "The Leipzig Geographical Institute of Wagner & Debes was the foremost German cartographic printer and publisher of cartographic work in the 19th- and early 20th century." Debes had been a student of [/Petermann Petermann]. In 1922 he published a Moon atlas and "Handkarte." He is credited with adding one name later adopted by the IAU: the [/Montes%20Jura Jura Mountains].
- This feature is Catalog number 179 in Mary Blagg's [/Collated%20List Collated List] where it is noted that it was called [/Tralles Tralles] m by [/Julius%20Schmidt Julius Schmidt], but unnamed by the other authorities.
- In [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] the replacement name Debes is attributed to Karl [/M%C3%BCller Müller].
- Kuiper reports in [/PLA%20Table%20III Table III] of his [/Photographic%20Lunar%20Atlas Photographic Lunar Atlas] (approved by the IAU) that he has modified the IAU boundary of this feature: Now applies only to the northern component of the I.A.U. Debes.
- The designations Debes A and B for the southern components appear to have been introduced in the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters].
