Etymology The species is named after Karl Wilhelm von Kupffer (b. Lestene, 14 November 1829 – d. Munich, 16 December 1902), Baltic German anatomist credited by Ehlers as having probably described the same species previously from the Baltic Sea as 'Aricia spec.?': "Verisimiliter eadem est species, quae a cel. Kupffer in libro adscripto 'Bericht über die Expedition zur physikalisch-chemischen und biologischen Untersuchung der Ostsee,', p. 151, est commemorata" (Ehlers, 1874: 296). [details]
