Systematics: Duges (1888: 160) first described this as a species. Minor differences were observed from Llaveia axin in the dorsal wax secretion, and therefore Duges (1888: 161) reduced it to subspecies level. Morrison (1928) supposed that the separate status from L. axin was doubtful, but refrained from making the change without a study of authentic material. Vayssière (1926) synonymized Monophlebus dugesi Vayssière, 1914, with Llaveia axin. Later he noted that it is very likely that Monophlebus dugesi Vayssière is identical with Llaveia axin var. dorsalis Duges, which was described from Mexico, Guanajuato State.
