﻿Fabricius established the genus Tingis in the Systema 

 Rhyngotorum, where he describes Cardui as the type, for 

 whicli reason I gave the name of Galeatus to the group widi 

 a large hood and lobes to the thorax; it therefore appears 

 to me that the name Monanthia, imposed by Lepeltier and 

 adopted by Hahn, must fall. 



Some of these insects are found upon thistles and flowers 

 in abundance, and they always seem stiff and sluggish when 

 disturbed.

The only specimens 1 have seen were taken by myself oflf

 jNIay. Hahn's M. dumctorxun may prove to be a variety of 

 my insect, but it is very much darker than any of my speci- 

 mens.
