CANUCHA; ALBARA. By M. Gaede. 
much darker, especially the costa, apex and marginal area of forewings. On hindwings costa and base are not 
darkened. Typical from Styria (1000 m altitude), the other 2 names denote specimens from Polsi and the 
ochracea. Aspromonte mountains. ochracea Lamb, is a superfluous name for dark specimens, whose colouration approa¬ 
ches that of harpagula, being about as dark as the somewhat pale illustration of harpagula in Vol. 2, pi. 23 h. 
flavomar- D. curvatula Bkh. (Vol. 2, p. 199, pi. 23 h). Only the form flavomarginata <$ Gloss, is to be mentioned, 
gmafa. p av j n g hindwings with orange-yellow beyond the outer line. Also in 2 from Sei shin (Corea) the margin 
of both wings is very light. — I have before me some very dark specimens from Berlin, the ground colour 
of w r hich is approximately like the illustration of muscularia Wkr. (Vol. 2, pi. 30 f). Only the margin of forewings 
is rather paler, similar to scabiosa Btlr. (pi. 30 f), as also are the edges of the very dark central band. 
Hindwings scarcely show any markings. This form does not appear to have been denominated so far. 
D. lacertinaria L. (Vol. 2, p. 200, pi. 23 h). The summer form, which was already dealt with in 
erosula. Vol. 2 as aestiva Rbl ., should according to P. Schulze be given the older name of erosula Lasp. The 
lacertula. Spring form lacertula is somewhat dimorphous, the $ is rather greyer, the $ browner. In the summer generation 
erosula both sexes are much more similar, the $ being almost as brown as the $. In the 2nd generation the 
hindwings in both sexes are paler, so that one can recognise a $ of this brood without seeing the date label. 
In specimens of the 1st generation the outer line of forewings normally has a rather acute angle at base 
of upper median nervure and above this there is an indentation. - A $ that in consequence should be of 
interpres. the 1st generation, but which has the ocbreous yellow ground colour of the 2nd generation is named interpres 
lacoraria. Schulze. In England a small 1st generation occurs: tacoraria Schulze. The $ is monotonous ochreous yellow, 
similar to erosula, the transverse lines are blackish grey, devoid of dark freckle markings. The pale subterminal 
line on forewings is more or less absent. The $, except for its small size, resembles many of the Berlin 
specimens, but the ground colour is rather more reddish brown and more uniformly spread over the surface. 
The grey freckling is indistinct. • As Linne’s type is not available, it is difficult to state whether it agreed 
with the 1st or 2nd generation from Central Europe or whether it represented the northern forms scincula Hbn. 
and brylcaria Schulze from Finland. The only specimen I have from Finland, in the Pungeleu Collection, corre¬ 
sponds as exactly as is possible to Hubner’s illustration of scincula, when one takes into consideration the 
rough and ready ways of that time. The name brylcaria would therefore appear to be superfluous. 
The following additional 2 asiatic species. 
thermo- D. thermopasta Hmps. Body and forewings orange, densely dusted with red-brown. A curved inner 
pasta. an q 2 similar outer lines indicated. Besides these a spot in marginal area below apex. This mark also red-brown. 
Hindwings have basal and inner marginal areas similarly dusted with red-brown. At inner margin there are 
traces of a curved inner, outer and submarginal line. Underside orange. ^ 26 mm. W. China. 
cretacea. D. cretacea Hmps. Body and forewings chalky white, thinly scaled. At lower angle of cell a brown 
spot is indicated. A rather oblique outer line from discoidal nervure to inner margin, delicately marked, reddish 
yellow afid in front of the margin on discoidal and subcostal nervures similarly coloured spots. Hindwings 
chalky white with traces of a curved outer line. $ 48 mm. W. China. 
Genus: Cauuclia Wkr. 
All that is necessary in regard to this Genus has been said in Vol. 10, p. 475. The only new species 
is described as a Drepana. 
louvieri. C. bouvien Oberth. is probably identical with C. duplexa Mr. dealt with in Vol 10, p 475 and pi. 491. 
Ground colour is yellow-brown. From apex of fore wings to the centre of inner margin a pale line extends, 
that is widely edged with dark brown outwardly, the area inwardly of same to costa and to the cell is similarly 
dark, only the costa at apex remaining light. At end of cell widely whitish and a whitish spot posteriorly. 
In basal area a few dark brown dentate lines. On hindwings the pale central line is curved, its surround 
similar to that on forewings. In outer area numerous dark lines. $ 70 mm. Ta-tsien-lu. 
The following species described by Oberthur a s Drepana probably all belong to the 
Genus: Albara Wkr. 
In regard to this Genus please also refer to Vol. 10, p. 467. The distinctions from Drepana are not 
great, robusta is only classified here provisionally. It probably will require a separate Genus. 
robusta. A. robusta Oberth. (10 g). Ground colour violet-brown. From apex of forewings a wide dark brown 
line extends to centre of inner margin. Near the base there is a curved line, forming a quarter of a circle. 
Posterior to same on costa at equal distances 3 horizontal dark streaks of which the last one is conjoined
