LACE-BUG GENERA — DRAKE AND RUHOFF 75 



Distribution of species: Ethiopian. 

 Number of species: 1. 



Penottus Distant (1903b, p. 254). 



Type species: Penottus jalorensis Distant (1903b, p. 254, fig.) = 

 Monanthia monticoUis Walker (1873, p. 196). 



Fixation: Distant (1903b, p. 254), by monotypy (as jalorensis 

 Distant, 1903b, p. 254= Monanthia monticoUis Walker, 1873, 

 p. 193). 



Later citation: Monte (1947, p. 18) (as jalorensis) . 



Synonym: Ceiiocysta. (New synonymy.) 



Note: Distant (1902b, p. 356) stated that the single specimen of 

 Monanthia monticoUis Walker was in very bad condition and that 

 it somewhat resembled a species of Diconicoris. A study of this 

 specimen (pi. 8, herein) shows that the hemelytron is identical 

 with P. jalorensis Distant (1903b, p. 254) and by priority monti- 

 coUis must replace jalorensis as the correct name for the type 

 species, Penottus monticoUis (new combination). 



Distribution of species: Oriental.
