†1. Mineralogy. Designating a mineral occurring in prismatic crystals whose facets intersect at various different angles. Obsolete. rare.Apparently only attested in dictionaries or glossaries.

1888 G. Rolleston & W. H. Jackson Forms Animal Life (ed. 2) 492 [Arthropoda.] The hypodermic cells beneath the thickened cuticle constitute the ommateum, and remain either in a single or form a double layer; hence mono- or diplo-stichous. The monostichous ommateum is said to be apostatic when cup-shaped.

1902 E. R. Lankester in Encycl. Brit. XXV. 697/2 The monomeniscous eye is rarely provided with a single layer of cells beneath its lens; when it is so, it is called monostichous.
