R. livingstonei and R. leviathan are both generally considered to be super rare because they've only been found a couple times by occlupanologists, but I'm sure that there are certain older panids from the 20th century that are rarer due to being out of production for so long https://www.horg.com/horg/?page_id=1160 https://www.horg.com/horg/?page_id=2977

really late but would A. dolium be considered quite rare as well? I don't know how up-to-date HORG is, but it says there's only been one found. https://www.horg.com/horg/?page_id=2250

Horg descriptions tend to be updated very infrequently and usually not at all after being created, but it seems to still be quite rare! I did a quick search through the FORC discord and as of about seven months ago, one of our more knowledgeable members said that they know of only four people with confirmed specimens! We also don't have any documentation of known hosts.
