Description: Lenght of forewing 12 mm, wingspan 23 mm. Head, thorax and abdomen with fine greenish-grey and dark green hairs. Forewing almost uniformly greyishbrown, wing pattern hardly visible. Transverse lines (especially the very sinuous outer one) and the orbicular and reniform, which are covered yellow scales and edged less and more with black. Yellow scales can be seen sporadic on all over the forewings. Cilia whitish, contains yellowish-white - black pieces. Hindwing dark greyish - brown, with whitish cilia. Underside of forewings greyish - brown, veins black, cilia white or grey, changes in strips. Hindwing brownish, lighter and lighter to the basal part because of the less and less dark flatterns. Male genitalia (Figs 14, 15): uncus short, slender, slightly flattened, tegumen rather low, broad. Fultura inferior broadly subdeltoidal with short apical process, vinculum short, weak, V-shaped. Valva relatively short, medially broadened, cucullus short, triangular with apex acute; corona very short, weak. Sacculus short, rounded, clavus reduced, harpe long, slender, slightly curved, its basal bar fine, arcuate. Costal extension strong, long, wedge-shaped. Aedeagus relatively short, cylindrical, slightly arcuate, ventral plate of carina sclerotized, bill-like. Vesica tubular, upturned dorsally. Basal part broadened, bearing two small diverticula. Distal part tapering, armed with a small but strong, bulbed cornutus and a field of short spinules. The known populations of Dasypolia (Dasythorax) "anartinus" form a complex of three externally strongly different taxa which can be interpreted as distinct, allopatric species, although the differences in the male genitalia, as a general rule within the whole genus, are small. The D. (D.) anartinus (Piingeler, 1901) is distributed in the easternmost Tien Shan region, D. (D.) puengeleri Hacker & Peks, 1992 (stat. nov.) is known from Ladakh while D. (D.) monotona was discovered in eastern Tibet. Specific differences: The new species is closer to D. (D.) puengeleri by its darker coloration and less contrasting pattern than to the much lighter, more conspicuously marked D. (D.) anartinus. It differs externally from D. (D.) puengeleri by its more elongated, narrower forewings, the lighter irroration is much paler, light ochreous, not yellowish-orange the darker hindwing, resp. The main differences in the male genitalia of the two taxa can be found in the configuration of the apical process of the fultura (smaller, shorter in monotona, much longer, spine-like in puengeleri), the cucullus (narrower, more triangular in monotona with the apex acute, not rounded), the costal extension (narrower, longer in monotona) and the size of the bulbed cornutus in the vesica which is larger in case of monotona.
