* The genus Dira of Hiibner cannot be adopted, as it includes several 

 distinct forms, the type species, moreover, being a true Lasiommata. Herr 

 Strom, in the * Naturhistorisk Tidsskrift' for 1866, has briefly charac- 

 terized HUbner's Pararge (Pararga), taking for his type the Megcera of 

 Linnaeus; this species, however, was referred by Hiibner to his genus 

 Diray and if placed in Pararge would displace the original type.
