Systematics: The description of this species was based on the adult male. Cockerell (1899n: 3) presented description of males of three different species, all of which were named Monophlebus sp. Two Monophlebus spp. were collected at "Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet, by Champion", while the third was from "Mexico, Acaguizotla in Guerrero 3500 feet by H.S. Smith". Cockerell (1902a: 26) first published the name Monophlebus championi while clearly restricting it to the description of Monophlebus sp. that was described by Cockerell (1899n) in "middle of page" no. 3, from Panama: Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet, collected by Champion. Morrison (1928) suggested that this species belongs in an uncertain genus of Monophlebinae, Llaveiini.
