c??. The pair from which Boisduval drew up his description of eckephron is 

 discoloured ; it belongs to the present 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 liindwing. Size variable, fringe without distinct 

 white spots in some specimens, bnt in most nearly as conspicuously spotted as in 

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

 than in the other subsj)ecies, sometimes 1 or 2 mm. distant from cell. 



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

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

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