Well, we now have some remains of Homo floresiensis, which has been given species status - though it would be pretty difficult to say for sure that they couldn't interbreed with either erectus or sapiens. The papers on the find suggest that Flores man may have been isolated for as long as 800,000 years, though I understand that they are waiting on more finds and more dating to pin that down.
