pallipes
Rhinosimus pallipes is a species of narrow-waisted bark beetle in the family Salpingidae, first described by Boheman in 1858. The species is recorded from British Columbia, Canada, based on GBIF distribution data. Members of the genus Rhinosimus are associated with dead or decaying wood, though specific ecological details for R. pallipes remain undocumented in the available sources.
