  This 
  genus, 
  like 
  Dendroides, 
  has 
  been 
  completely 
  misunder- 
  

   stood 
  by 
  European 
  authors. 
  The 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  is 
  the 
  

   Korth- 
  American 
  /S. 
  cervicalis, 
  Newm. 
  The 
  Old-World 
  

   species 
  placed 
  here 
  by 
  Lewis 
  and 
  Pic 
  will 
  be 
  considered 
  

   under 
  Pseudopyrochroa. 
  

  

  Reitter 
  has 
  recently 
  (' 
  Fauna 
  Germanica/ 
  iii. 
  p. 
  385) 
  

   proposed 
  the 
  name 
  Pyrochroella 
  for 
  certain 
  northern 
  species 
  

   allied 
  to 
  P. 
  pectinicornis, 
  L. 
  ; 
  but 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  see 
  that 
  these 
  

   ditfer 
  geuerically 
  from 
  Schizuius, 
  Newm. 
  Including 
  these, 
  

   then, 
  the 
  genus 
  may 
  be 
  tabulated 
  as 
  follows 
  :
