tlie Family PyrocliroiclfB. 317 



PvKocHHOA, GeofFr. 

 (Type P. coccinea, L.) 



The S[)ccics of this genus, in its restricted sense, are as 

 follows : — 



1 . (10) Elytra red 2. 



2. (5) Head and scutelhiai black 3. 



3. (4) Funu longer ; thorax with median 



furrow coccinea, L. 



4. (3) Form shorter ; thorax without me- 



dian furrow ^'ar. kahyliana, Pic. 



u. (2) Head wholly or in part red ; scu- 



tellum red 6. 



6. (7) Head completely red serruticornis, Scop. 



Var, *tai(ricola, Pic. 



7. (6) Head partly black 8. 



8. (9) Upperside bright red, pubescence 



short and concolorous Var. kiesemvetteri, Fairm. 



9. (8) Upperside reddish fulvous, pubes- 



cence longer and more golden . . pubescens, Pic. 



(■:") *subcostulata, Fairm. 

 lU. (1) Elytra blue cyaiiipennis, Pic. 



ScHizoTUs_, Newm. 



(= Fyrocliroella, Reitt.) 



This genuSj like Dendroides, has beeu completely misunder- 

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

 Is'orth-Americau S. cervicalis, Newm. The Old-World 

 species placed liere by Lewis and Pic will be considered 

 uiider P.seudopi/)-ochroa. 



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

 proposed the name Fyrochruelia for certain northern species 

 allied to F. pectiniconiis, h. ; but I do not see that tljcse 

 ditt'er generically from Schizotus, Newm. Including these, 

 then, the genus may be tabulated as follows : — 



1. (2) Elytra blackish, bordered with fulvous. 



(\. America.) (PI. XH. tig. 7.). . . . cervicalis, Newm. 



2. (1) Elytra fulvous. (N. Europe and Asia.) 



(Fyrochroella, Peitt.) 3. 



3. (4) Thorax black, margin suffused with red . fttseicollis, Mann. 



Var. *punctusy Mots. 



4. (3) Thorax red, with or without black spot 



on disc 5. 



5. (0) Thorax with black spot on disc ; scu- 



tellum fuscous pectinicorms, L. 



f). (o) Thorax immaculate ; scutellum fulvous. . 7. 



7. (8) Head black, with red spot on face cdrdinalis, Mann. 



8. (7j Head black, without red spot Var. innotaliceps, Pic.
