LACE-BUG GENERA — DRAKE AND RUHOFF 45 



Note: Founded as a subgenus of Monanthia, raised to generic level 



by Distant (1904, p. 433). 

 Distribution of species: Ethiopian (16), Australian (1), Oriental 



(1), Palearctic (1). 

 Number of species : 18. 



Conchochila Drake (1958b, p. 329). Lapsus for Conchotingis . (New 

 synonymy.) 



Synonymy: See Conchotingis. 



Note: Through oversight, Drake (1958b, pp. 329-331) failed to 

 change the generic name of two tingids from Madagascar (de- 

 scribed by him as "Conchochila sundra, new species," and "C. 

 insulana, new species,") to Conchotingis Drake (1954, p. 71), al- 

 though the generic description of Conchochila was deleted. The 

 latter generic name is here suppressed as a synonym of Concho- 

 tingis, and sundra and insulana are transferred to Conchotingis.

 as cornutum.)

Note: Copium cornutum Thunberg (1822, p. 8) is here suppressed 

 as a synonym of C. clavicornis (Linnaeus) (1758, p. 442), the 

 latter name having priority by 64 years. This new synonymy 

 makes Monanthia a synonym of Copium. Of the many species 

 former!} 7 placed in Monanthia, the type species, M. clavicornis
