Connatichela
Connatichela is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae, subfamily Entiminae, described by Anderson in 1984. The genus is currently monotypic, containing only C. artemisiae, which is endemic to the Yukon Territory. Members are characterized by connate (joined at base) tarsal claws, absence of metepisternal suture, lack of scales on antennal funiculus, and presence of broad scales on antennal scape. The genus has a documented Pleistocene fossil record from Alaska and western Northwest Territories, indicating a formerly broader distribution.
