106. Genus: Dicycla Guen. 
It is now proposed to re-name this Genus — Zenobia Oken. on the plea that this is the oldest name. 
D. oo L. (Vol. 3, p. 233, pi. 47 k). — rufocanago DM. has the ferruginous fascia in outer area suffused 
with olive-grey. This is the most variegated form, as well as the darkest, being placed between the grey griseago 
and renago. — conflua Holze has orbicular and reniform stigmata confluent. — olivacea Skala is an aberration 
that is completely suffused with olive-grey. From Moravia. 
107. Genus: Eiiargla Hbn. 
E. ulicis Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 233, pi. 47 k). This species also occurs in Mauretania. Oberthur considered 
same conspecific with regina Stgr. and algirica Culot, but Rothschild, as well as Hampson disagree. The 
decision is difficult, because in the 3 species, three separate groups of colour occur: — griseo-olivacea Culoi 
yellowish oclireous grey, — rufa Culot salmon-pink to deep brick-red and — brunnea Culot brown to black- 
brown. The margin of forewings is faintly dentate and of rosy hue. Transverse lines are paler than ground 
colour, stigmata more or less distinct, sometimes very bold, sometimes almost obsolete. Hindwings of silv¬ 
ery white, inclined to be rosy along the margin, in $ rather more brownish. — pseudoregina Fdz. (22 e) ex¬ 
ceeds griseo-olivacea and is very pale yellowish, almost whitish with black basal spot, as in regina ; orbicular 
stigma reduced to a dot, reniform stigma large with grey centre. Both transverse lines distinct, without dent¬ 
ations, the anterior line very oblique, so that at inner margin it almost converges with the posterior line. In 
place of subterminal line there are 2 rows of black dots, the inner one on the veins, the outer one between 
them. Costa and antennae are a brighter ochreous yellow. Hindwings rosy brownish. The $ is much darker. 
From Bejar (Salamanca) and Ucles in September. The author considers it possible that this is a genuine species. 
E. jordani Rothsch. is most closely related to borjomensis Rom. (Vol. 3, p. 233, pi. 47 1) differing by 
the very bold and distinct orbicular and reniform stigmata. The $ antennae are so heavily serrate, that they 
almost seem to be pectinated, the $$ of all other species have simple antennae. Head and thorax are cinna¬ 
mon-red, abdomen grey-white, densely scaled with black. Forewdngs cinnamon-red, peppered with black, 
anterior transverse line scarcely visible, orbicular and reniform stigmata very large, dark brown; the posterior 
transverse line is distinct with undulate dentations. Fringes cinnamon-red and without the black tips of ulicis 
and allied species. Hindwings pale whitish with very small black discal spot and pale cinnamon-reddish un¬ 
dulate and angulated discal line. Wing expanse: 41 mm. From a single $ from Souk Ahras (Algeria), captured 
in April. 
E. regina Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 233, pi. 48 a). The same three colour variations occur here as in ulicis. It 
differs from the latter by the more accentuated black row r s of spots in place of the subterminal line, by darker 
stigmata and black basal dot. — griseo-olivacea Culot is more yellowdsh ochreous grey, — rufa Culot salmon- 
pink to deep brick-red and -— brunnea Culot. brown to blackish. 
E. algirica Culot. (= deleta Warr., rufescentior Rothsch.) (22 c). This species closely resembles the 
preceding, but the more or less distinct submergence of the stigmata and subterminal line is characteristic. 
Head and thorax yellowish cinnamon-red, abdomen paler. Forewings cinnamon-red, costa, inner margin and 
fringes inclined to orange; the oblique anterior transverse line is pale yellowish, edged with orange outwardly, 
whilst the posterior line lias an inner orange edge. Stigmata small, grey with narrow pale yellow surrounds. 
Subterminal line quite indistinct. Hindwings white, rosy grey margin and fringes. The $ is inclined to brick- 
red on thorax, forewings olive-brown, hindwings grey-brown, paler at base, heavily suffused with rose, almost 
carmine at margin. This species, like the preceding, is very variable. It occurs in Algeria from September to 
November. Very deep red specimens are denominated —■ ruberrima Rothsch. 
E. kansuensis sp. n. (22 e) is probably related to abluta and im.buta. (Vol. 3, p. 234, p, 47 1, 49 a) and 
appears to vary considerably. In the $ before me, forewings are pale brownish yellow, thorax and anal tuft 
somewhat more ochraceous. Transverse lines delicate but distinct, brown, the anterior line bulging forwards 
in 3 arcs towards the margin in the cell, at submedian and below nervure 1. The posterior line slightly curv¬ 
ed, almost parallel to margin. Orbicular stigma round, reniform stigma angulated and impressed outwardly, 
with a small grey spot at lower end. Immediately before same a faint central shade, subterminally a very faint 
shade is indicated; pale marginal striations before the fringes. Hindwings yellowish grey, dusted with black 
except at base and on costal margin. Faint marginal striations before the yellowish white fringes. The $ is 
much darker, brown, still deeper chocolate brown in the wide central area, so that the adjoining transverse 
lines are invisible. However as the ground colour on the averted sides is paler a contrast is created. Both stig¬ 
mata with pale centres and with a dark central spot. Hindwings uniformly browmish grey. Thorax almost 
slate-grey, head and collar paler yellowish grey. From a well preserved pair from N. Kansu in the collection 
of Baxg-Haas. 
E. trapezoides Stgr. (22 cl) was omitted from Main Volume. It resembles a small abluta rufula, the outer 
margin is more oblique and less bulging. The anterior transverse line proceeds obliquely from the first fifth 
of costa almost to centre of inner margin, slightly bent towards the base on vein 1. Stigmata are larger, there
