According to Robert Anderson in "Co-Extinction and the Case of American Chestnut and the Greater Chestnut Weevil (Curculio caryatrypes)", February 2, 2017, "It’s not a happy day when we can declare another species as extinct, but today, along with the two species of already red-listed, extinct chestnut moths, I believe that we can now add the greater chestnut weevil (Curculio caryatrypes) to the ever-growing list of extinct organisms."
