Whether or not witches should be considered monstergirls is actually a matter of some debate. On the one hand, they are, in many stories, beautiful women with supernatural powers and potentially dangerous inhuman traits, which is like the basic definition of a monstergirl. On the other hand, when you get down to it, "witch" can literally mean "female [[arcanist]]", making them more of a class than a race - thus, like the [[amazon]], there are proponents and opponents for their inclusion. A good rule of thumb compromise would be “if magic is something that theoretically any normal person in-setting could pick up if given the opportunity or resources it’s just a class, but if casting potential is a purely in-the-blood trait (a la [[Harry Potter]]) then magic-users are a separate breed from regular humans and thus witches are technically monstergirls.”

In the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]], two different mamono embrace the witch as their basic concept:

The first type is literally called the Witch; these are once-human sorceresses who fell for the blandishments of the Sabbath cult, failing to realize before it was too late that the "eternal youth" the Sabbath promoted was by transforming them into [[loli]]s. Indoctrinated utterly into the Sabbath cult as its loyal followers, witches concern themselves both with finding a nice boyfriend and with conducting magical experiments to ultimately aid the Sabbath in taking over the world.

The second type, the Dark Mage, are once-human sorceresses who inadvertently turned themselves into monsters by conducting magical experiments that ultimately overloaded them with corruptive demonic magic. These "witches" are selfish hedonists who take a great pride in their voluptuous forms, and will do anything to achieve their goal. Whilst it's not stated, one can imagine that the two witches don't get on at all.
