Monopis is a genus of the fungus moths in the family Tineidae.
A typical feature of these moths is a semi-transparent pale spot near the middle of the forewings. There are usually contrasting white markings adjacent to it. Otherwise, the forewings are generally unpatterned and brown to blackish-grey in color.
