Lenep’ ( BMNH (E) #665012) is a good match for original plate 180, figs E, E; it has been re-pinned and the wings show some minor repairs . 2 ♂ syntypes, each with Felder label ‘ Surinam Coll. Lenep’ ( BMNH (E)#665013–4) match original plate 247, figs B, B, slightly less well; each is mounted with a slimmer, larger-headed pin which has probably not been changed; both have repairs to the wings .
