S ? . The pair from which Boisduval drew up his description of echfphron is 

 discoloured ; it belongs to the ])reseut species, not to dijras as suggested by Leech ; 

 the name of echephron has been left out in the catalogue of Staudinger and Rebel. 



In colour very close to complacens, but the underside decidedly more restricted 

 red, especially in the S and on the hindwing. Size variable, fringe without distinct 

 white spots in some sjiecimens, but in most nearly as conspicuously spotted as in 

 carstaiijeni. First line of underside of hindwing on the whole rather more distal 

 than in the other subspecies, sometimes 1 or 2 mm. distant from cell. 



? . Vaginal plate differing from that of the Continental forms in the ridge being 

 deeply incised (PI. XVIII. f. 21) ; this character aiiplies to all the specimens 

 examined, but in some the sinus is less deep than in others.

 founded with any sj)ecies except in a moment of thoughtlessness. The uniform
