LACE-BUG GENERA — DRAKE AND RUHOFF 85 



Tingis Fabricius (1803, p. 124). 



Type species: Cimex cardui Linnaeus (1758, p. 443). (See plate 3, 



herein.) 

 Fixation: Latriellc (1810, p. 433), substantiated by Intel-national 



Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, Direction 4, 1954. 

 Previous selections: Oshanin (1912, p. 44); Drake and Poor (1936a, 



p. 390); Monte (1939, p. 81; 1941, p. 146; 1947, p. 21); China 



(1943, p. 247); Hurd (1946, p. 463). 

 Valid subgenera: Caenotingis, Lasiotropis, Tingis, Tropidocheila. 



Stal (1873, p. 130) divided the genus Tingis into four subgenera — 



Tingis, Lasiacantha, Melanorhopala and Americia — but only the 



subgenus Tingis remains in this genus today. 

 Synonyms: Phyllontocheila (in part), PlatychUa. 

 Distribution of species: Palearctic (51), Oriental (14), Neotropical 



(13), Australian (13), Ethiopian (4), Nearctic (1), Fossil (6). 

 Number of species: 102. 



Tingis (Tingis) Fabricius (1803, p. 124). 



Type species: Cited under genus. 



Distribution of species: Palearctic (24), Oriental (11), Australian (9), 



Neotropical (7), Ethiopian (1), Nearctic (1). 

 Number of species: 53. 



Tingis (Caenotingis) Drake (1928b, p. 283). 



Type species. Tingis (Caenotingis) heesoni Drake (1928b, p. 283). 

 Fixation: Drake (1928b, p. 283), by monotypy and original 



designation. 

 Distribution of species: Oriental. 

 Number of species: 1. 



Tingis (Lasiotropis) Stal (1874, p. 55). 



T3'pe species: Monanthia (PlatychUa) trichonota Puton (1874a, p. 



216). 

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

 Later citation: China (1943, p. 247). 

 Erroneous citation: Monte (1947, p. 14). 

 Note: Horvath (1906c, pp. 61, 69) made Lasiotropis a subgenus of 



Tingis. Monte (1947, p. 14) wrongly treated Lasiotropis as a 



valid genus, not a subgenus of Tingis, and then also wrongly cited 



the type species as "Tingis grisea Germar." 

 Distribution of species: Palearctic (7), Neotropical (2), Oriental (1). 

 Number of species: 10.
