 Panscopidhis Pierce, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 45, p. 394, 1913. (Type of sub- 

 genus, by original designation, P. squamosus Pierce, loc. cit., p. '394.) 



In this subgenus the rostrum usually has a fine but distinct median 

 carina, and the last sternite of the female is broadly and shallowly 

 impressed. 



1. Length, 6.5-8 mm; alternate elytral intervals elevated, rather strongly so in 



c^, more feebly but still evidently so in ? ; legs piceous black ; elytral setae 

 longer and more conspicuous, especially on alternate intervals (Rochester, 

 Puyallup, and Olympia, Wash. ; Portland, Oreg. ; type locality, Oregon) 



torpidus LeConte. 



Length about 7 mm ; elytral intervals even, or at most faintly elevated in 



c? ; legs reddish ; elytral setae shorter 2. 



2. Elytral scales apparently a little larger, and broadly overlapping on disk of 



elytra [Hilgard, Oreg. (type locality) ; known from the single d' type] 



squamosus Pierce, 

 a. Elytral scales apparently smaller and not or only slightly overlapping.

sq^iamosiis var. dcniipcs Pierce. 



Several specimens ((j" and $) collected by M. C. Lane in the Blue 

 Mountains of Washington, elevation 6,000 feet, are smaller (about 

 5.5 mm in length) and probably represent another local variant of 

 squamosus. 



DOLICHONOTUS, n. subgen. 



Body elongate, scaly and setose, scales very dense on elytra, the 

 elytral sides converging posteriorly from behind the rounded humeri, 

 form unusually slender in male. Rostrum stout, nearly twice as long 

 as wide at apex, feebly arcuate, medially unicarinate, gradually 

 widened basally, abruptly widened at about apical fourth so that the 

 apical portion of scrobe becomes broadly visible from above, upper 

 edge of scrobe toward apex elevated above the general surface ; scrobe 

 faintly arcuate, obsolete in basal half or more, beginning practically 

 at apex of rostrum; scape nearly straight, gradually and feebly 

 widened apically, first two funicular segments longer, fourth, fifth, 

 and sixth moniliform, seventh about as broad as long. Eyes very 

 feebly convex, broadly rounded above, narrowed below, separated 

 above by a little less than basal width of beak. Prothorax relatively 

 long, ocular lobe well developed; pronotum more or less distinctly 

 sulcate at middle, scales dense, setae slender. Scutellum small, de- 

 pressed. Elytra with basal margin perpendicular from side to side, 

 alternate (odd) intervals elevated, more strongly so in J*, the sutural
