I looked this up in the LSJ at the Perseus web site - the entry I saw can be
found at:
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/lexindex?entry=monogenh/s
The definition you cite isn't there; the closest sense I found was:
3. m. haima one and the same blood, dub. l. in Eur. Hel. 1685.
I think that the abridged versions of LSJ are much older - is it possible
that later editors decided to drop or change the definition you object to?
