First Described (Guide)
(Newton & Gadow, 1893)
Habitat
Subtropical and tropical lowland moist forest.
Mauritius (E) (B).
Status EX
Known from subfossil bones from Mauritius. It was described and sketched by a number of early travellers. Desjardins reported that it was fairly common even as late as the 1830s, but his 1837 reports were the last, and Clark specifically wrote that it was extinct in 1859. Extinction was probably caused by deforestation, and perhaps also hunting, as well as predation by introduced mammals.
