Reddish-tinged Bembidion Ground Beetle (Bembidion rufosuffusus)
The Reddish-tinged Bembidion Ground Beetle was described in 1877; it is, or maybe was, restricted to the island of Saint Helena.
“Like its immediate allies, this little Bembidium is of great rarity, and confined (so far as I have observed) to the high central ridge, – where it occurs generally (though not always) beneath the moist stems of the rotten tree ferns about Diana’s Peak and Actaeon.” [1]

The species appears to have not been relocated during the most recent field studies and is thus believed to be possibly extinct.
