*The report on Pitcher’s Thistle (Cirsium pitcheri) was withdrawn to allow inclusion of genetic data. The report on Crumpled Tarpaper Lichen (Collema coniophilum) was withdrawn to incorporate more information on search effort and to clarify threats. The report on Skillet Clubtail (Gomphus ventricosus) was withdrawn and a revised version of the status report will be prepared. It is anticipated that these wildlife species will be re-considered by COSEWIC in November 2010. The assessment of Rocky Mountain Tailed Frog (Ascaphus montanus) was deferred.
