The ecoregion has witnessed the recent extinction of many endemic species, including the Bermuda spike rush (Eloecharis bermudiana) (Procter and Fleming 1999) and the only endemic nemertean, Pantinonemertes agricola (Sterrer 1998a). An estimated 16 insect species have disappeared in the last century, including the flightless grasshopper, Paroxya bermudensis and seven Diptera (Sterrer 1998a). The near-eradication of Bermuda cedar in the 1940s led to extinction of two associated endemic insects, the cicada Tibicen bermudiana, and the geometrical moth Semiothisa ochrifascia (Sterrer 1998a).
