Tingis (Tropidocheila) Fieber (1844, p. 72). 



Type species: Monanthia stachydis Fieber (1844, p. 73, fig.) = 

 Monanthia maculata Herrich-Schaeffer (1839, p. 56, fig.). 



Fixation: Oshanin (1912, p. 44), by subsequent designation. 



Invalid fixation: Monte (1947, p. 21). 



Variant spellings: Tropidochila, (many authors); Tropidochilae 

 (Fieber, 1861, p. 120). 



Note: Founded as a subgenus of Monanthia. Horvath (1906c, pp. 

 79, 84) transferred subgenus Tropidocheila to genus Tingis and 

 synonymized Monanthia stachydis Fieber with Tingis maculata 



. (Herrich-Schaeffer). Fieber (1861, p. 130) transferred M. 

 maculata to genus Tingis. Oshanin (1912, p. 44) designated 

 maculata as the type species of subgenus Tropidocheila. As M. 

 stachydis Fieber was one of the originally included species of 

 Tropidocheila and a synonym of maculata, the fixation by Oshanin 

 is valid. Monte (1947, p. 21) incorrectly designated u Monanthia 

 {Tropidocheila) costata (Fabr.) (=Acanthia costata Fabr.)" as 

 the type species. It should be noted that costata was wrongly 

 determined by Fieber (1844, p. 74) and that the technical name 

 is Catoplatus fabricii (Stal). Fieber included an excellent figure 

 of this species.
