Chrysobothris eriogoni
Westcott, 2005
Chrysobothris eriogoni is a metallic wood-boring beetle in the Buprestidae, described by Westcott in 2005 from specimens collected in Oregon and Washington. As a member of the speciose Chrysobothris, it belongs to a group of jewel beetles known for their metallic coloration and association with woody plants. The epithet 'eriogoni' suggests a potential association with Eriogonum (wild buckwheat), though this relationship has not been explicitly documented in the available literature.
