The species is endemic to northwestern North America, with records from Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia.

Mycodrosophila claytonae
Mycodrosophila claytonae is a species of fruit fly in the family Drosophilidae, first described by Wheeler and Takada in 1963. It belongs to the genus Mycodrosophila, a group of drosophilid flies often associated with fungal substrates. The species is documented in scattered observations, with 44 records on iNaturalist. Like other members of its genus, it likely has ecological ties to decaying fungal matter.
Onthophagus cavernicollis
Cave-dwelling Dung Beetle
Onthophagus cavernicollis is a dung beetle species in the family Scarabaeidae, first described by Howden and Cartwright in 1963. The species epithet "cavernicollis" suggests a possible association with cave or subterranean habitats, though specific ecological details remain limited. Like other members of the genus Onthophagus, it is presumed to be a dung-feeding beetle involved in nutrient recycling. The species has been documented in the south-central United States.
