The ALA entry (https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Monocrepidus) is headed 'Monocrepidus', but in the list of names applied to the genus it is spelt 'Monocrepidius'. Wikipedia uses Monocrepidius, as does iNaturalist. I usually go by the ALA, but in this case it seems to have slipped up with the heading, so best to use Monocrepidius.
Conoderus is another name used in the past for the Australian species.
