In the light of recent experimental results of Jung et al. [Phys. Rev. A 75, 052707 (2007)], we have carried out relativistic distorted wave calculations for electron impact excitation of the ten higher-lying fine-structure levels of the 3p{sup 5} 5p configuration of argon from the lowest metastable states (the J=0,2 levels of the 3p{sup 5} 4s configuration). We compare our theoretical results with their experimental results and discuss the differences from the similar excitation to the 3p{sup 5} 4s levels from the same metastable states.
