Difference between Eutychianism and Monophysitism

Accepted answer

The Wikipedia article on Monophysitisism answers your question when it says:

There are two major doctrines that can indisputably be called "monophysite":

  • Eutychianism holds that the human and divine natures of Christ were fused into one new single (mono) nature: His human nature was "dissolved like a drop of honey in the sea".
  • Apollinarism or Apollinarianism holds that Christ had a human body and human "living principle" but that the Divine Logos had taken the place of the nous, or "thinking principle", analogous but not identical to what might be called a mind in the present day.

In other words, Eutychianism is a subset of Monophysitisism.
