LACE-BUG GENERA — DRAKE AND RUHOFF G3 



Kitoko Sckouteden (1923, p. 95). Synonym of Ammianus. 



Type species: Phyllontocheila (Kitoko) alberti Scbouteden (1923, 



p. 96). 

 Fixation: Schouteden (1923, p. 95), by monotypy. 

 Synonymy: See Ammianus. Synonymized by Drake (1955d, p. 



105) 

 Variant spelling: Kotoko (Drake, 1955d, p. 105). 



Kotoko. Error for Kitoko. 



Laccometopus Fieber (1844, pp. 30, 96). Synonym of Copium. 



Type species: Cimex clavicornis Linnaeus (1758, p. 442). 



Fixation: Present designation. 



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



Synonymy: See Copium. Synonymized by Horvath (1906c, p. 91). 



Note: Monte (1947, p. 14) designated L. costatus (Fabricius) as type 

 species of Laccometopus, which is invalid since it was not included 

 in the original generic description. Laccometopus was erected by 

 Fieber to hold L. clavicornis (Linnaeus) and L. kollari Fieber. 

 As no type species has heretofore been named, L. clavicornis 

 (Linnaeus) is here so designated, thus fixing the synonymization 

 by Horvath (1906c, p. 91), and others, with Copium. 



Lambella. Error for Lembella. 



Lasiacantha Stal (1873, p. 130). 



Type species: Tingis (Lasiacantha) hedenborgi Stal (1873, p. 130). 

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

 Later citations: China (1943, p. 246); Drake (1953b, p. 92). 

 Erroneous citation: Monte (1947, p. 14) cited type species as L. 



odontostoma (Stal). 

 Synonyms: Jannaeus, Myrmecotingis. 

 Note: Stal (1874, p. 56) elevated Lasiacantha to generic rank from 



subgenus of Tingis. 

 Distribution of species: Ethiopian (10), Palearctic (4), Australian 



(3), Oriental (2), Malagasy (2). 

 Number of species : 21. 



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



Lembella Schouteden (1919, p. 141). Synonym of Kapiriella.
