Observations et histoire de la classification de la description
Described as a species closely related to oncaea Hopffer. Classified as a synonym of doubledayi Guerin by Butler (1896). This classification is criticised by Marshall (1896), who instead considers (in agreement with Trimen, according to his own account) that dircaea should be classified as a seasonal variation of caldarena Hewitson. Aurivillius (1898) classifies this taxon as a synonym of caldarena.
