Cyanea dolichopoda Lammers & Lorence, 1993

Taxonomy & Nomenclature

Conservation Status

Missing (Wood et al., 2019) or Extinct (Humphreys et al., 2019); "extinct or missing" (Suckling et al., 2004)

Last record: 1990 (Wood et al., 2019); 1990 (specimen collected) (Lammers & Lorence, 1993; Suckling et al., 2004:49/63); 1992 (sighting) (Lammers & Lorence, 1993 [; Suckling et al., 2004:49/63(?)])

IUCN RedList status: Extinct

"Cyanea dolichopoda is known only from the type specimen collected in 1990 at the headwaters of the Wailua River, Kauai. Surveys following the strike of Hurricane Iniki in 1992 failed to locate the species. The species may survive undetected, and virtually undetectable, on the vertical cliffs surrounding the Blue Hole"

(Suckling et al., 2004:49/63)
