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:

P: Mart., Fl.Bras.10:244 (1847)
T: S BR, Sellow s.n. (B|)

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
