Cylindera lunalonga (Schaupp) - Parvindela lunalonga - Farmersville, site of the San Joaquin Roller Mill, Tulare County, California, USA May 22, 1983 Size: 12.5 mm
This specimen was collected from the type locality for the species. Shortly after the specimens were collected the site became a nature preserve and the leaking cattle trough that supported the population was fixed and the area dried up. They also removed the cattle that kept the non-native grasses and weeds under control, so the site became very overgrown. It hasn't been seen there since.
