As a member of the genus Ceutorhynchus, it belongs to a group of small weevils associated with seeds of various plants.
Chrysobothris vulcanica
A metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, found in western North America. The species is named for its volcanic association, with records from volcanic regions of the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountains. Like other members of the genus Chrysobothris, it develops in dead or dying wood, though specific host plant associations remain poorly documented compared to better-studied congeners.
Chrysocharis clarkae
Chrysocharis clarkae is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Eulophidae, described by Carl M. Yoshimoto in 1973 as part of a revision of the subgenus Chrysocharis s. str. in North America north of Mexico. The species is one of six newly described in that revision. Members of the genus Chrysocharis are generally known as parasitoids of leaf-mining insects.
Chrysocharis viridis
Chrysocharis viridis is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Eulophidae, first described by Nees in 1834. It belongs to a genus known for biological control of leaf-mining insects. The species has been recorded from England and western Canada (Alberta, British Columbia). As with many Chrysocharis species, it likely parasitizes agromyzid leaf-mining flies, though specific host records for this species require verification.
Cimberis compta
pine flower snout beetle
Cimberis compta is a species of pine flower snout beetle in the family Nemonychidae. It is one of several species in the genus Cimberis, a group of weevil-like beetles associated with conifers. The species has been documented in western North America, including British Columbia. Nemonychidae is a small family of primitive weevils, with larvae that develop in male conifer cones.
Cimberis decipiens
pine flower snout beetle
Cimberis decipiens is a species of pine flower snout beetle in the family Nemonychidae, a group of primitive weevils. It is found in North America, with records from British Columbia, Canada. The species was described by Kuschel in 1989. Like other members of its family, it is associated with conifers, though specific host relationships remain poorly documented.
Clamoris americana
Clamoris americana is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae. Originally described by Horn in 1874 as Phthora americana, this species is currently accepted under the genus Clamoris. Records indicate occurrence in British Columbia, Canada. As with many Tenebrionidae, specific natural history details for this species remain poorly documented in accessible literature.
Clypastraea obesa
A minute beetle in the family Corylophidae (minute fungus beetles), Clypastraea obesa was described by Casey in 1900. The species is documented from North America with records from British Columbia, Canada and Alaska, United States. Corylophidae are among the smallest beetles, typically associated with fungal substrates.
Colladonus okanaganus
Colladonus okanaganus is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, described by Hamilton in 2010. The species epithet refers to the Okanagan region. As a member of the genus Colladonus, it belongs to a group of leafhoppers that are known to be preyed upon by certain wasp species.
Collops versatilis
Collops versatilis is a soft-winged flower beetle in the family Melyridae, first described by Fall in 1912. The genus Collops comprises predatory beetles commonly found on flowers, where they feed on other insects. C. versatilis has been documented from British Columbia, Canada, with 75 iNaturalist observations recorded. Like other members of the genus, it likely serves as a beneficial predator in agricultural and natural ecosystems, though specific ecological details for this species remain limited.
