Cleonidius [willow is an accident]
MCZ types available for all 5 spp. recorded from MB & SK, and
C. erysimi
Fall seems to be the best match

sooo..
how do we treat this one?...Looks like
Cleonidius
is now
Scaphomorphus
and there is only one North American species of
Cleonis
listed in the American Beetles volume,
C. pigra
. So I assume that all others including
C. erysimi
has been moved over to
Scaphomorphus
?

yes, they are under Scaphomorphus in the guide
but
Cleonis pigra
has nothing to do with the bunch in question

MCZ
The only type specimen that I could find in the MCZ you pointed to is
Cleonus erysimi
, which was in
Cleonidius
and it looks to me like the spellings of Cleonus and Cleonis are synonyms? Maybe I am wrong there, but if correct, then both
pigra
and
erysimi
are in the same genera and the American beetles volume is wrong, as then there would now be at least two species in the genus in North America. Thats where I am confused. Perhaps there is a taxonomy clarification somewhere I need to look at...

all you need is looking in Canada checklist
photos of all the relevant types are available [mostly under synonymized names]
