Corymbitodes pygmaeus
Pygmy Click Beetle
Corymbitodes pygmaeus is a diminutive click beetle species in the family Elateridae, distinguished by its exceptionally small size as indicated by its species epithet 'pygmaeus' (meaning pygmy or dwarf). The species was described by Van Dyke in 1932 and occurs across multiple Canadian provinces from British Columbia to Newfoundland. As a member of the click beetle family, it possesses the characteristic pronotal structure that enables the defensive 'clicking' mechanism used to right itself when overturned.
Eanus granicollis
Eanus granicollis is a click beetle species in the family Elateridae, first described by Van Dyke in 1932. It is a poorly documented species with limited published information on its biology. Records indicate it occurs in British Columbia, Canada. The species name 'granicollis' refers to a granular or roughened neck region, likely describing a diagnostic morphological feature of the pronotum.
Elathous californicus
Elathous californicus is a click beetle species in the family Elateridae, described by Van Dyke in 1932. The species is known from limited records in western North America, with confirmed observations from British Columbia, Canada. Like other elaterids, it possesses the characteristic clicking mechanism for righting itself when overturned. Available information about this species remains sparse, with only two documented observations in iNaturalist and minimal published biological data.
