Coniontis abdominalis
Searched as Coniontis abdominalis caseyi. The Paleobiology Database treats Coniontis abdominalis as the accepted name.
No picture of Coniontis abdominalis was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Coniontis abdominalis, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At most 196 thousand years on record.
Every occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 210 ka and 14 ka, and nothing in the dating separates them, so that window is what the record shows rather than a span.
14 occurrences of Coniontis abdominalis on record, most of them in the Pleistocene. The Paleobiology Database records this as a living group, and the chart stops with its fossils rather than at the present. Bar height is expected occurrences, not a count: each fossil is spread across the span it is dated to, so a tall narrow bar means tight dating and a low wide one means loose.
When
14 occurrences- Pleistocene100%
These are dates about fossils, not the animal: the record can only begin after it arose and end before it died out, so either end may reach further. Shares are expected occurrences: a fossil dated to a span is counted partly in each period it straddles. More on what this infers.

The Paleobiology Database records 6 sites for Coniontis abdominalis, and this reads all of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too. The 24 sharing the most are listed.
This is not a list of everything alive at the time. It is only what has come out of the same ground as this animal and been written down.
