The genus Monographis may be divided into two groups based on the arrangement of sensilla on the 6th antennal article. Species with a crescent-shape arrangement are M. kraepelini, M. annandalei, M. baihualingensis, M. demangei and M. mirus; species with a triangular arrangement are M. tamoyensis, M. yunnanensis and M. queenslandicus n. sp.
