72 THE LEPIDOPTERIST 



Two constricted lines crossing the limbal and outer 

 part of discal areas, more regular than the lines on 

 primaries, and dividing this portion of the wing into 

 an outer band of ochrous oblongs, a middle band of 

 more or less regular squares, and an inner band of 

 oblongs. Internal to this a wider band of black, clos- 

 ing in the end of the discal cell at its centre. 



A round or oval ochreous spot edged with blade 

 occupies the centre of the discal cell. Inner portion 

 of basal area blackish. 



Inner margin light ochreous toward the anal angle, 

 tending to black tov/ard the base. 



Both primaries and secondaries are quite uniform 

 as to the ochreous ground color, the ochre greatly in 

 predominance over the black. There are no lighter 

 colored spots as in pola (arachne) and the wings have 

 the appearance of being striped irregularly with black, 

 rather than checkered. Furthermore, the secondaries 

 are not markedly darker than primaries as with the 

 average nympha. Pola (arachne) shows character- 

 istically the "deep fulvous sinus in discal cell of sec- 

 ondaries" (variable) while monache always shows the 

 centrally placed O. 



There is no "whitish" band on upper side of sec-- 

 ondaries in monache as with pola. 



Upper side. Primaries. Similar to pola, but the 

 ochrous color of the basal and discal areas is a little 

 richer, and the yellowish-white is confined to a narrow 

 subapical area. 



The same four bands of cream-white occur on sec- 

 ondaries as are found in pola, but the marginal band 

 tends to be wider (not distinctly composed of cres- 

 cents as in arachne). The centrally placed wide light- 

 colored band is relatively narrower than in pola, and 

 is bordered by wider, more nearly complete black lines. 



The outer black border in particular is practically 

 an unbroken line in monache. The basal whitish 

 patch is almost obsolete. 



Palpi and abdomen much as in pola. Antennae show 

 a shade more ochre. 



Female, similar to male, but with slightly greater
