Rhaphiomidas terminatus terminatus has been assumed extinct for over 30 years. In July of 2001 a small population was rediscovered. We provide a brief review of the known biology of Rhaphiomidas species and specifically address conservation concerns for R. terminatus terminatus.
... We end this section posing two questions: First, why is P. longimembris lacking from the washes connecting the inland alluvial fans and the coastline dunes and terraces? Surprisingly there is a big gap in many species distributions between the coastal zone and inland occurrences in the upper watersheds of the main Los Angeles Basin drainages, exemplified by the subspecies of the giant fly Rhaphiomidas terminatus, where one is endemic in the El Segundo sand dunes and the other is endemic inland in the Colton dune system (George and Mattoni 2006), a contrast similar to the current distribution of P. l. cantwelli and P. l. brevinasus.
