Sappho Moss Beetle (Hydraena sappho)

The Sappho Moss Beetle was described in 1965, it was restricted to the island of Lefkada, also known as Leucadia, Leukas, or Lefkas, a small island in the Ionian Sea of Greece.

The species is known from only a single specimen and, since it was never recorded since its description, is probably extinct.
