1794''; Horvath (1900c, p. 102) treated clavicornis Linnaeus 

 as a synonym of humuli but was in doubt to the extent 

 that priority of Linnaeus's species was disregarded. 



Synonymy: See Copium. 



Note: Opinion 71 of the International Commission on Zoological 

 Nomenclature (1922, pp. 16-18) ruled "The species cited by West- 

 wood, 1840 (An Introduction to the Modern Classification of 

 Insects, vol. 2, Synopsis, separate pagination, pages 1 to 158), 

 as 'typical species' are to be accepted as definite designations 

 of genotypes for the respective genera." The genus Dictyla, for 

 decades a synonym of Monanthia, is herein resurrected to hold 

 almost all of the species now included in Monanthia. See the 

 history and discussion of Copium clavicornis (Linnaeus), which 

 revealed this synonymy with genus Copium (p. 46); list of species 

 transferred to Dictyla (p. 51); and present generic position of 

 M. rotundata (p. 97).
