Bombus wurfleini mastrucatus Gerstaecker, 1869 is considered as extinct of Belgium since 1877. It was rediscovered in the province of Namur in 1979 by a student in agronomy. This rediscovery lead to several considerations: the importance of insects collections done by students and amateurs; the occasional or permanent condition, having permitted the survival of this species in this region.
