[Parnara naso monasi (Trimen)]
Pamphila monasi Trimen, 1889 [1887-1889], 3: 317 (Durban, Natal).
= Pamphila neoba Mabille, 1891: 178 (Cameroon).
= Parnara subochracea Holland, 1896: 63; pi. 4, fig. 11 (Ogove).
=Parnara anelia Bethune-Baker, 1908: 480 (Congo).

Evans (1937: 186) records this subspecies from Sierra Leone and Nigeria in a range which includes most of Africa south of the Sahara. Berger (1962: 463) lists it from Guinea, suggesting that monasi may be a resident in Liberia. There are specimens in Carnegie Museum from Ghana, Cameroon and Gabon, including the type of subochracea. Other subspecies occur in Madagascar, Mauritius and the Seychelles.
