Planibyrsa Drake and Poor (1937a, p. 164). 



Type species: Leptobyrsd splendida Drake (1922a, p. 374, fig.). 

 Fixation: Drake and Poor (1937a, p. 164), by original designation. 

 Later citations: Monte (1939, p. 77; 1941, p. 127; 1947, p. 18). 

 Note: Type species misspelled in original generic description as 



"spendida." 

 Distribution of species: Neotropical. 

 Number of species: 4. 



Platy chila Puton (1879, p. 107). Synonym of Tingis. 



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



Fixation: China (1943, p. 247), by subsequent designation. 



Erroneous citation: Monte (1947, p. 19). 



Synonymy: See Tingis. Synonymized by Horvath (1906c, p. 71). 



Note: Fieber (1861, p. 119) used Platychilae (plural form) appar- 

 ently to replace the subgenus Phyllontocheild Fieber (1844, p. 59) 

 (nomen nudum; sine species). Puton (1879, pp. 106-111) vali- 

 dated Platy chila (singular, correct form) as a subgenus of Moman- 

 thia by use of key characters and the inclusion of 1 1 species, and 

 thus became the author of the subgenus instead of Fieber. Hor- 

 vath (1906c, p. 71) suppressed Platy child as a synonym of sub- 

 genus Tingis of genus Tingis. See China (1943, p. 247) for history 

 and type designation. Lethierry and Severin (1896, p. 18) 

 treated Platy chila as a synonym of Lasiacanihia (pro parte). 

 Monte (1947, p. 19) erroneously designated Platy chila arnpliata 

 Fieber (= Phyllotochild arnpliata Fieber) (sic) as the type species. 



Platychilae Fieber (1861, p. 119, nomen nudum). See Platychila. 



Note: Erected as nomen nudum, plural form, sine species. Dis- 

 cussed under Platychila.
