Notre recherche ne nous a pas permis de retracer un découpage notionnel satisfaisant pour traduire «terminal weevil». On parlera donc tout simplement du charançon en mentionnant au besoin le spécifique (pin blanc, mélèze, sapin, etc.) que cette notion recouvre. Nous pourrions toutefois suggérer «charançon du conifère» puisque dans ce cas précis, ce type d'insecte s'attaque aux pins, épinettes et autres conifères. 2, record 3, French, - charan%C3%A7on

According to Don Bright, entomologist with Agriculture Canada, the spruce weevil common in British Columbia is likely the same species as the white pine weevil(Pissodes strobi) common in Eastern Canada. Since the common French equivalent for weevil is "charançon", we propose "charançon de l'épinette" for "spruce weevil". 2, record 5, English, - spruce%20weevil

It was found that with an increase in average mean temperature of 2.2°C, the hazard rating for this pest would increase over most of British Columbia. 1, record 5, English, - spruce%20weevil
