CONNATICHELA ARTEMISIAE , A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF WEEVIL FROM THE YUKON TERRITORY (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE: LEPTOPIINAE): TAXONOMY, PALEONTOLOGY, AND BIOGEOGRAPHY
Abstract Connatichela artemisiae , a new genus and species of leptopiine weevil endemic to the Yukon Territory, Canada, is described and illustrated. The genus is placed in the group of leptopiine genera characterized by the absence of metepisternal suture, lack of scales on antennal funiculus, and...
