Unlike its well-documented cogener, specimens of Extantis obnixa have been found only through donated hoards, sequestering itself into large mailed envelopes, mingled with other occlupanids. This Acutignathan resists yielding its secrets; although many have been collected in Australia, our holotype arrived from Sweden. No information yet, if possible, of host entities. Discovered by occlupanologists E.R. Fisher (FORC) & S. Nottingham.
