Cheumatopsyche vannotei Gordon

Vannote’s Cheumatopsyche Caddisfly (Cheumatopsyche vannotei)

Vannote’s Cheumatopsyche Caddisfly is still known only from a single specimen that was collected sometimes before 1974 (the date of its description).

The species was never recorded again since and might be extinct; it is, however, also possible that it might simply have been overlooked.

Ceraclea albosticta (Hagen)

White-spotted Long-horned Caddisfly (Ceraclea albosticta)

The White-spotted Long-horned Caddisfly was described in 1861; the species was apparently quite widespread, thus it is strange that its name appears in listings of extinct species.

It is mentioned here for the sake of completeness until I will be able to get further information.
