Status: IUCN - Extinct (but see comments below)
Comment:
Comments: The last specimen of L. apicalis was collected near Mt Crombie in 1933, but there are recent reports from Western Australia of stick nests in caves with fresh green vegetation woven into their structure, a tantalizing sign that the species may not be extinct (Robinson, 1995a). Former distribution, along with detailed ecological information, summarized by Copley (1999)
