Genus Pseudozonitis Dillon 



The name Pseudozonitis is applied to the New World species of a 

 group whose Old World representatives are currently divided among 

 the genera Zonitoschema, Zonitodema, and Zonitopsis. With the 

 assignment of the two West Indian species treated below the total 

 species of Pseudozonitis has been brought to 20. The North and 

 Central American species were revised recently by Enns (1956). 

 The only South American member of the genus that we know of is 

 an apparently undescribed species from Argentina.
