on the southern side. Two specimens. Nos. 457, 463, U.S. Geological

ARTIPUS Schonherr. 
This is a West Indian genus with three existing species of small size, 
of which one is found at Key West. <A single fossil from the White river 
is referred here with some hesitation.

The species here referred does not seem to belong in this genus, but I 
‘an find no other with which it so well agrees. The form is compact, stout, 
well rounded, and even. The head is short, broad at base, and tapers very 
rapidly to the very stout snout, which more nearly resembles that of 
Strophosomus, though the antennal scrobes pass toward the middle of the 
eye and not beneath it; the head is granular, like the thorax, but the beak 
smooth; the beak tapers with an arcuate upper surface, and shows no sign 
of apical enlargement; the eyes are not large, and are circular. The thorax 
is profusely but rather delicately granulate, and its upper surface forms a 
uniform arch with the not very convex elytra; it is short, and the sides of 
the front are roundly and deeply emarginate. Klytra about twice as long 
as broad, with fine, sharp, deep, delicately punctate strize; interspaces flat, 
clothed with short pile. 
Length, excluding beak, 3°5""; of rostrum, 0°75™"; of elytra, 2°5™"; 
height, 1-75™. 
White river, eastern Utah, from the top of the very highest buttes.

This is the only tribe of Otiorhynchidz which has been found fossil 
only at Florissant, and so may be regarded as typical of the Lacustrine 
fauna. Three genera have been recognized, one with two species being an 
extinct type called Evopes; the others, with three species between them, 
being Lachnopus and Omileus, American types.
