Cormodes darwini Pascoe (Clerinae)
This conspicuous brachypterous species was described from, and is endemic to, Lord Howe Island, though it is now presumed extinct (likely due to predation by rats). Twentyfour specimens are known: AMS (5), SAM (9), BMNH (3), MNHN (3), MVMA (3) and QM (1). One AMS specimen was collected from Kentia palms ( Howea sp.).
