LACE-BUG GENERA — DRAKE AND RUHOFF 51 



wrongly suppressed the genus Dictyla as a synonym of Monanthia. 

 The present paper resurrects and restores Dictyla to the generic 

 level. See Copium and Monanthia for a discussion of synonymy 

 which led to this action. Species being transferred from Monan- 

 thia to Dictyla are listed below under "new combinations." 



Distribution of species: Ethiopian (19), Neotropical (14), Oriental 

 (12), Palearctic (14), Nearctic (3), Australian (1), Fossil (3). 



Number of species : 63. 



New combinations: In suppressing the genus Monanthia Le Peletier 

 and Serville as a synonym of Copium, it becomes necessary to 

 transfer the following species to the genus Dictyla Stal: abyssinica
