Well contiguous would be the lower 48; continental would include AK since last I checked there was no break in North America between the north tip of Central America and the Bering Straights.

Contiguous. Continental would imply the inclusion of Alaska.

As a former federal employee, the word CONUS is used in the civilian and defense branches of the government to mean 'continental United States'.

Although, most sellers use it to mean lower 48. Clear as mud, right?
