Cormocephalus andinus (Kraepelin, 1903) View in CoL
This species, occurring in Ecuador and Peru, was reported by KRAUS (1958) along the road from Academy Bay towards the North at 760m in “Moospolster” (I presume he meant 760 m of altitude, which would mean that it was found in the summit fern-sedge zone in a Sphagnum bog), Santa Cruz (18.VIII.1957, Leg. I. Ebl-Eibesfeldt). It has since never been found again and SHEAR & PECK (1992) suspect that the species arrived in the islands before 1932, but probably disappeared before regular samplings began from 1974 on. PECK et al. (2000) gave it the status of “probably extinct introduced” species .
