Genus Schematiza Chevrolat in Dejean 1836

Schematiza Chevrolat in Dejean 1836: 377

(type species Lycus laevigatus Fabricius, 1801 , by subsequent designation of Barber 1947b).

Remarks

This genus currently contains 37 described species, distributed from Mexico through much of South America. See Fig. 28 View Figs 28–36 for a habitus illustration. However, some of these species are very similar to those currently in Metrogaleruca . The characteristics of other species currently in Schematiza are intermediate between the two genera. Likely, careful investigation will either reveal the need for synonymizing the two putative genera, or the investigation will lead to the transferal of some species from Schematiza to Metrogaleruca .
