Morocco, which Zerny categorically stated to be identical with it and which anatomically comes much nearer 
to oranaria vera than our Algerian species does. This latter, paroranaria, is easily separated from oranaria by 
the pronounced sex-dimorphism already mentioned (the mostly larger $$ very distinctly reddish in colour 
and more weakly maiked than the light yellow-brown $<$), while in oranaria such is only suggested by a some¬ 
what stronger irroration in the $; further by the lack of the tongue, the stouter, longer-ciliated antenna, with 
the ends of the joints more strongly projecting, and conspicuously by the much finer and weaker brownish, 
not blackish irroration of the upperside, especially in the 2$. The black postmedian of the forewing streng¬ 
thened by vein-dots but sometimes wholly or in part obsolete (in oranaria consisting only of vein-dots) is more 
strongly and sharply bent outwards below the costa and somewhat more excurved behind the middle (in 
oranaria here almost straight). The black fringe-dots are in general small, often wanting, the postmedian of 
the hindwing less distinct; sometimes there are on both wings indications of a dark macular subterminal band. 
Underside in the & somewhat more yellow, in the $ much more strongly reddish brown (not dirty yellow), the 
lines as above, often with a median shade, the cell-dots mostly sharper and larger. Face dark brown. The 
series does not prove to be so homogeneous as it looked. The form just described (5 1 £) has no' definitely 
perceptible tongue; the majority (4 12 <j>$) has, however, a rudimentary tongue of varying size from perhaps 
% to twice the palpal length. — A smaller <$. 18 mm in expanse, is darker, more sharply marked, with larger 
cell-dots, the distal area darkened and on the hindwing broader. Anatomically, the slender lanceolate valves 
are narrower, their triangular process shorter, the gnathos broader, the penis distally truncate, the single long 
cornutus somewhat shorter and more striated. This form, which still needs further elucidation, I designate 
f. suboramaria nov. I do not think it constitutes a separate species." — All are from Hammam Rigba (Hammam suboranaria. 
Rirha), Algeria (Stattermayer), coll. Wehrli. I have seen paroranaria (sens, lat.) from the Blida district, 
El Biar and Mustaplia, Oued Hamidou and Bou Saada. Taken in May and June, occasionally well on in July; 
a few small September specimens are no doubt a 2nd generation. Anellus not developed; cornutus very large; 
the triangular process of the valve, mentioned by Wehrli, is placed at about %, the surface beyond it is much 
roughened, almost serrate. 
B. seitzi sp. n. (IS 1). Extremely similar to some forms of paroranaria and evidently variable; I would seiizi. 
have preferred to treat it as an E. Algerian subspecies, but the genitalia are fundamentally different. The 
apparatus is relatively small, the valve short and broad instead of long and (for the greater part of its length) 
narrow, as in paroranaria , the thorn-like process wanting; aedoeagus short and thick, with one large cornutus. 
Face and palpus blackish. Tongue vestigial. Antenna about as in paroranaria. Tarsus % to scarcely 1 / 5 . The 
forewing in the type looks a little squarer than in the other forms (costa relatively a trifle shortened, tornus 
fairly well developed), but I cannot detect this in the (smaller) paratype; in the type the ground-colour is warm 
cinnamon-buff, the irroration fine and inconspicuous, while the paratype is paler and less sharply marked; 
cell-dot strong, oval; postmedian in both rather characteristic at its anterior end, the bends or angulations 
pronounced, the costal extremity somewhat thickened, black; antemedian weak (strongest in its oblique course 
from costa to cell; median shade wanting; proximal subterminal partial (macular), distal subterminal faint 
and quite fragmentary; terminal dashes slender; fringe-dots strong. Hindwing with traces of median line pro¬ 
ximal to the cell-dot; this and the markings beyond approximately as on forewing or (at least the subterminal 
maculation) weakened. Philippeville, in June, 2 kindly sent to me many years ago by my old friend and 
fellow-worker Dr. Seitz but never satisfactorily determined. Probably many others are awaiting detection in 
different collections. 
B. vindicata sp. n. (= maroccana Sterneck in lift.,, nee Wehrli , paroranaria part. Zerny , nec typ.) (18 c). vindicate. 
This species and the following are so similar that I have not yet been able to discover any infallible distinctions, 
apart from the genitalia. The present species is the more variable and indeed produces forms which might 
easily be mistaken for paroranaria (supra). Ground-colour often as yellowish as in the latter, from which it 
may generally be sejDarated by its stronger irroration (though not as coarse as in culoti), perhaps on the whole 
somewhat narrower median area and different form of the antemedian, which in paroranaria runs more obliquely 
outward from the costa to a dot on the subcostal, while in vindicata it is commonly almost perpendicular from 
the costa, or is made to appear so by a thickening (or an accompaniment of dark irroration) at its point of origin; 
there is also usually a stronger inward bend of this line at the fold, yet scarcely so strong as in fulta; median shade 
nearly always indicated, but variable in intensity. Underside more glossy; markings, excepting the cell-dots, 
generally weak or evanescent. Hindtarsus of <$ variable, usually very short, but rarely so extreme as in culoti. 
Tegumen broad, its shoulder not prominent, uncus broader at its base than in most of the preceding . Valve 
distinctively shaped, with a small rounded prominence near its end, a very small point at its extreme end. 
Aedoeagus very long, proximally much thickened and with one large thick cornutus, to which follow three of 
diminishing size arranged in a spiral, then (near the extremity) one so small as to be only noticeable with a 
high magnification. Guelt-es-Stel; the fairly common and varying in size from 20 to 26 mm, partly according
