Poecilobothrus majesticus
Poecilobothrus majesticus is an extinct species of fly in the family Dolichopodidae that was endemic to Great Britain. The species is known from a single specimen collected near the Essex coast in Walton-on-the-Naze in 1907 and was formally described by E. C. M. d'Assis-Fonseca in 1976.[3] It has not been recorded for over 100 years, so it is therefore considered to be extinct.[1]
