I know that the last ones were collected even around 1975! by a dutch collector. A german collector(Ottfried Legler whos ´caribbean collection is now in a german Museum) bought 2 piece from him years ago on a show in Frankfurt.They had no locality data,but the dutch collector confirmed to the german collector that he has collected them himself) I know about another one from around 1970 in a friends collection and have visited that area several times without finding them,maybe I have just been always unlucky to find the exact place,.but the (coastal) forests in the hills still have huge trees and seem me to be a good habitat.......

Regarding prices for others "stars" in lepido, it seems not so much if this really disappeared!

If it's extinct since the 1800's there can't even be many intact in collections.
Maybe it's always the same few specimens sold from time to time

Lepidofrance, a very interesting history of the apparently extinct Urania sloanus. The guy who payed all the money [raised] looks a very happy chappy. Now if I could raise that money for my most wanted.
