Mitred Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus mitratus)
The Mitred Horseshoe Bat is a very enigmatic species only known from the type that was collected in 1844 somewhere in Jharkhand, India.
The species might indeed be still around and may be rediscovered some day, but until that happens it should be mentioned in here.

White-winged Stone-Parsley (Seseli alboalatum)
The White-winged Stone-Parsley, described in 1919, is a small herb with white flowers and is known from only two regions, the hills of Chotanagpur on the Neterahat Plateau in the Ranchi District, Jharkhand as well as from the Raigarh District in Chhattisgarh, both in north-eastern India.
The species was last recorded in 1940 and is now considered to be very likely extinct.
