Neartica lists it as incongruus, so that's what I went with and added brunneus as a synonum.

pls remove brunneus from synonyma
brunneus is much older and thus can't be synonymized with incongruus, only vice versa: if they are one species, then brunneus supersedes; if treated as separate, then brunneus will remain a Palearctic sp., while incongruus, its vicarious Nearctic cousin

Synonum removed
I never thought about not being able to use the older name as a synonum, but now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense.

yup; this is S. brunneus (L.)
...or incongruus (LeConte, 1853) IF the latter's validity has been restored
