Abstract

Monstrotyphis singularis n. sp. is described from New Caledonia. A revised classification of all the Recent species included in Monstrotyphis is provided. Talityphis Jousseaume, 1882 and Typhina Jousseaume, 1880 are considered to be congeneric and Talityphis bengalensis Radwin & D'Attilio, 1976 is regarded as a junior synonym of Typhis nitens Hinds, 1843.
