Conisattus Csy. 



While the general organization of this genus is essentially 

 similar to that of Coniontis, there are some characters that 

 recall the Eusatti, such as the reflexed margin of the head, 

 narrowly explanate sides of the pronotum and feebly prominent, 

 though obtuse, external apical angle of the anterior tibias. It 

 differs from the Eusalti, and is more closely affiliated with 

 ConiontiSy in the unproduced basal angles of the prothorax and 

 well developed, sharply triangular scutellum. In the simple 

 and filiform anterior tarsi, with the first four joints subequal 

 and but slightly longer than wide, shorter basal joint of the 

 posterior tarsi and almost wholly unimpressed mesosternum, it 

 is however peculiar, proving it to be an isolated type of the 

 subfamily ; there is but a single species as follows : — 



Form oblong, convex, subalutaceous, rufo-piceous, the legs dark 

 rufous and the antennae pale ferruginous, glabrous, with a few^ 

 short hairs on the hypomera and some longer bristling setae at the 

 sides of the epipleura; toward base ; head finely punctured, sparsely 

 behind, more close!}'' before, the suture, the sinus moderately wide, 

 rather shallow and parabolic, the margin of the oblique, rounded 

 and medially emarginate sides moderately reflexed ; antennae long 

 and very slender ; prothorax fully twice as wide as long, widest be- 

 hind the middle, subparallel, the sides subevenly arcuate, somewhat 

 more converging anteriorly, the apex broadly and strongly sinuate, 

 nearly three-fourths as wide as the base, the angles not deflexed 

 and evidently rounded ; base transverse ; surface rather finely and 

 sparsely but strongly punctate, becoming strongly and more 

 coarsely but not densely so laterally, the margins narrowly and 

 equally explanate throughout the length, the bead very fine, the 

 basal angles very feebly produced, right and not rounded ; scutel- 

 lum but slightly wider than long ; elytra scarcely as w'ide as the 

 prothorax, parallel and very feebly arcuate at the sides, arcuately 

 and gradually narrowed in apical two-fifths, the tip narrowly and 

 slightly prolonged and rather acute; surface nearlv smooth, finely, 

 feebly, submuricately and sparsely punctured, more closely but 

 not at all more coarsely toward the sides; prosterniuu moderately 

 finely, submuricately punctate, the process not margined ; abdo- 

 men rather gradually acute posteriorly, shining, finely and sparsely 

 punctate and sparsely puberulent ; tarsi long and very slender. 

 Length 6.5 mm.; width 3.25 mm. Oregon (northwestern).

A few examples were taken by Mr. Schwarz at Squally Hill, 



which seems to be in the neighborhood of Astoria. The epi-
