Strange Rhyncogonus Weevil (Rhyncogonus extraneus)
The Strange Rhyncogonus Weevil was described in 1910, it was restricted to the lowlands below the Wai’anae Range on the island of O’ahu, Hawaiian Islands, a region that is now mostly covered with introduced vegetation.
The species was not seen since 1941, when it was last collected; it is very likely extinct. [1]
