Yes. U. monanthus is very likely a mispelling of the "monanthos".

As for why you couldn't find "monanthos" in the DB, I can't say, because
it is there. Maybe you looked only under "monanthus"? When using a
search engine remember to allow for the possibility that you may not be
spelling your inquiry correctly.

When I try with the probe "monan", I get:

        N: [Utricularia monantha {Benj.}]
    P: Mart., Fl.Bras.10:244 (1847)
    T: S BR, Sellow s.n. (B|)
    S: =[Utricularia tricolor {St.Hil.}]

        N: +[Utricularia monanthos {Hook.f.}]
    P: Fl.Tasman.1:299 (1860)
    T: Arthurs Lakes, Tas., AU, Gunn 896 (K)
    L: S AU, NZ
    LFR: 133, 134, 148, 149, 150
    S: ?=[Utricularia novae-zelandiae {Hook.f.}]

        N: ~[Utricularia monanthos {auct. non Hook.f..: K. & M.Kondo}]
    P: Carniv.Pl.of the World in Colour:169 (1983)
    S: =[Utricularia novae-zelandiae {Hook.f.}]
