List of Oceanian species extinct in the Holocene

Map of Oceania with UN subregions

This is a list of Oceanian species extinct in the Holocene that covers extinctions from the Holocene epoch, a geologic epoch that began about 11,650 years before present (about 9700 BCE)[a] and continues to the present day.[1]

Oceania is a geographical region in the Pacific Ocean comprising Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.[2][3] Numerous species across Oceania became extinct as humans moved across the Pacific. Australia-New Guinea, New Zealand, and Hawaii have particularly large numbers of extinct species, so they listed in separate articles. Extinctions from the remaining Pacific Islands are listed below. This list includes sovereign states (such as Fiji) as well as island territories (such as French Polynesia). Extinctions from the associated states and dependent territory of New Zealand are listed below, and not with New Zealand proper. Papua New Guinea's Autonomous Region of Bougainville (part of the Solomon Islands archipelago) is included below, although the rest of Papua New Guinea is covered in List of Australia-New Guinea species extinct in the Holocene.

Many extinction dates are unknown due to a lack of relevant information.

Sylviornithids (family Sylviornithidae)

[edit]
Scientific name Range Comments Images
Megavitiornis altirostris Fiji Most recent remains at the Naigani Lapita culture site dated to 950 BCE.[13] Flightless and totally terrestrial, it would have been quickly exterminated by humans and introduced mammals.[14]
Sylviornis neocaledoniae Grande Terre and Isle of Pines, New Caledonia Most recent remains at the Pindai Caves dated to 1120-840 BCE.[15] The species was flightless and laid a single egg uncovered on the ground, which wasn't incubated. This made it easy prey for introduced predators.[14]

Megapodes (family Megapodidae)

[edit]
Common name Scientific name Range Comments
Consumed scrubfowl Megapodius alimentum Tonga and Fiji Dated in Fiji around 850 BCE[16] and in Tongoleleka, Lifuka Island to 840-740 BCE.[17] It retained the ability to fly despite being almost as large as New Caledonia's pile-builder megapode. Nevertheless, it went extinct a couple of centuries after human settlement as a result of hunting, egg harvesting, and predation by introduced animals.[14]
Viti Levu scrubfowl Megapodius amissus Aiwa Levu, Fiji[16] Likely flightless unlike other small megapodes, which would make it vulnerable to introduced predators.[14]
Pile-builder megapode Megapodius molistructor New Caledonia Most recent remains at the Pindai Caves dated to 86-428 CE.[7] It was the largest species of its genus and almost certainly hunted to extinction by humans. Megapodius andersoni, a hypothetical species named from a brief description written by William Anderson during the third voyage of James Cook (1776-1780), may or may not be the same animal.[14] Remains provisionally assigned to this species in Tonga are different enough to represent another species, or even genus.[18]
Megapodius sp. Tonga A large megapode similar to M. molistructor of New Caledonia, but likely a different species or even genus. Lived alongside, but was rarer than the smaller M. alimentum.[18]
Large Solomon Islands megapode Megapodius sp. Buka Island, Autonomous Region of Bougainville Prehistoric
Lini's megapode Mwalau walterlinii Efate, Vanuatu Described from remains found in Lapita culture levels dating to 1050-850 BCE. It could fly despite being larger than any extant megapode.[19]
Locally extinct

Rennell Island teal Anas gibberifrons remissa Rennell, Solomon Islands Restricted to a single lagoon in the island, it disappeared in 1959 after Tilapia fish was introduced and presumably destroyed its food supply.[14]
Mariana mallard Anas platyrhynchos oustaleti Guam, Tinian, and Saipan, Mariana Islands A captive breeding program intended to save it from extinction ended in failure with the death of the last individual (pictured) in 1981.[22]
Coues's gadwall Mareca strepera couesi Teraina, Line Islands, Kiribati A sedentary subspecies likely descended from stranded birds. It was never seen alive again after its discovery in 1874.[23]

Pigeons and doves (family Columbidae)

[edit]
Common name Scientific name Range Comments Pictures
Henderson archaic pigeon Bountyphaps obsoleta Henderson Island, Pitcairn Most recent remains from Polynesian middens[14] dated to 1000-1600 CE.[7] It was the largest of four pigeon species originally present in the island, and a poor flier but not flightless. It was likely hunted to extinction.[14]
Kanaka pigeon Caloenas canacorum New Caledonia; possibly Vanuatu and Fiji[14] Most recent remains at the Pindai Caves dated to 86-428 CE.[7] It was likely hunted to extinction.[14] Remains provisionally assigned to this taxon in Tonga likely belong to a different species.[18]
Caloenas sp. Tonga Known from subfossil remains.[18]
Spotted green pigeon Caloenas maculata unknown, possibly Tahiti, French Polynesia Known from two specimens of unknown origin that were collected in 1783 and 1823, believed to have come from somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Its coloration suggests that it was a forest-dweller, and its short and rounded wings that it evolved in a predator-free island. 1928 native accounts of a bird in Tahiti may refer to this species. It could have disappeared due to hunting or introduced predators before extensive European exploration of the Pacific.[28]
Tongan tooth-billed pigeon Didunculus placopedetes Tonga Most recent remains dated to 900-750 BCE.[7]
David's imperial pigeon Ducula david Ouvéa Island, New Caledonia Most recent remains at Utuleve dated to 550-50 BCE.[7]

Ducula shutleri Tonga Known from subfossil remains dated to 855-730 BCE.[18]
Rota large ground dove Gallicolumba sp. Rota, Mariana Islands Known from subfossil remains. Coexisted with the smaller Micronesian pigeon, now extirpated from the Marianas.[24]
Huahine cuckoo-dove Macropygia arevarevauupa Huahine, Society Islands, French Polynesia Most recent remains at Fa'ahia dated to 700-1150 CE.[7]
Marquesas cuckoo-dove Macropygia heana Nuku Hiva and Ua Huka, Marquesa Islands Most recent remains at Hane, Ua Huka dated to 300-1200 CE.[7]
Choiseul pigeon Microgoura meeki Choiseul, and speculatively Bougainville and Malaita, Solomon Islands Not recorded since 1904; more recent observations are believed to be confusions with other doves and pigeons. It was probably exterminated by introduced dogs and cats.[29]
Viti Levu giant pigeon Natunaornis gigoura Viti Levu, Fiji Known from subfossil remains. It was the third largest pigeon ever after the dodo and Rodrigues solitaire, flightless and adapted to eat large fruit, seeds, and insects on the ground. Like the former, it would have been extremely vulnerable to hunting and introduced mammals predating on its eggs and chicks.[14]
Mangaia ground dove Pampusana erythroptera ssp. Mangaia, Cook Islands Known from subfossil remains.[14]
Society Islands ground dove Pampusana erythroptera ssps. Moorea and Tahiti, French Polynesia Known from a few specimens collected between 1768 and 1779 (mostly lost), paintings and descriptions. Differences in the paintings suggest that they represent two undescribed subspecies. Two other subspecies were described in the Tuamotu Islands, where at least one survives.[14]
Tanna ground dove Pampusana ferruginea Tanna Island, Vanuatu Only known from a 1774 painting by Georg Forster.[30]
Henderson ground dove Pampusana leonpascoi Henderson Island, Pitcairn Most recent remains dated to 1000-1600 CE.[7]
New Caledonian ground dove Pampusana longitarsus New Caledonia Most recent remains at the Pindai Caves dated to 86-428.[7]
Great ground dove Pampusana nui Marquesas, Cook, Society, and Tuamotu Islands[14] Most recent remains in Mangaia dated to 1390-1470 CE.[7]
Thick-billed ground dove Pampusana salamonis Makira and Ramos, Solomon Islands Known from one individual collected in Makira in 1882 and another from Ramos in 1927. Likely declined due to hunting, predation by introduced rats and cats, and habitat destruction.[31]
Red-moustached fruit dove Ptilinopus mercierii Nuku Hiva and Hiva Oa, Marquesa Islands, French Polynesia Only recorded in Nuku Hiva when the holotype was collected in 1836-1839, and last recorded in Hiva Oa in 1922. A record from 1980 was mistaken. Disappeared due to predation by introduced great horned owls, cats, and rats.[32]
Mauke fruit dove Ptilinopus rarotongensis byronensis Mauke, Cook Islands Only known from a 1825 description by Andrew Bloxam.[14]
Possibly extinct

Rails (family Rallidae)

[edit]
Common name Scientific name Range Comments Pictures
Nuku Hiva rail Hypotaenidia epulare Nuku Hiva, Marquesas Islands Most recent remains dated to around 950 CE.[33] The remains were found in middens along with other vertebrate bones and shells of animals consumed by Polynesians. It was probably hunted to extinction.[14]
Ua Huka rail Hypotaenidia gracilitibia[14] Ua Huka, Marquesas Islands Most recent remains dated to around 600 CE.[33]
Niue rail Hypotaenidia huiatua Niue Known from subfossil remains predating human settlement, but believed to have been driven to extinction by hunting or anthropogenic changes to its environment.[14]
Tongatapu rail Hypotaenidia hypoleucus Tongatapu, Tonga Known from John Latham's 1785 description of birds collected by William Anderson during the third voyage of James Cook (1776-1780). The species was likely exterminated by feral dogs introduced by Cook's previous visit in 1773.[14]
Tahiti rail Hypotaenidia pacifica Tahiti and Mehetia, Society Islands, French Polynesia Last reported in Tahiti in 1844 and in Mehetia in the 1930s. It was flightless. Its extinction was presumably caused by introduced cats and rats.[34]
Tinian rail Hypotaenidia pendiculentus Tinian, Mariana Islands Known from subfossil remains.[14]
Aguiguan rail Hypotaenidia pisonii Aguiguan, Mariana Islands Known from subfossil remains, nearly all of which show charring from cooking fires.[14]
Bar-winged rail Hypotaenidia poeciloptera Viti Levu and Ovalau, Fiji Last seen with certainty before 1890. There were unconfirmed sightings in Taveuni in 1971, and in Waisa, Viti Levu in 1973. It was possibly exterminated by introduced cats and mongooses.[14]
Mangaia rail Hypotaenidia ripleyi Mangaia, Cook Islands Known from subfossil remains. Likely extinct due to hunting, habitat alteration, and introduction of mammalian predators.[14]
Tahuata rail Hypotaenidia roletti Tahuata, Marquesas Islands Most recent remains dated to around 950 CE.[35] One of only two known rails from eastern Polynesia, it was likely flightless and had robust legs adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle. As a result, it would have been extremely vulnerable to humans and introduced predators.[14]
Tabuai rail Hypotaenidia steadmani Tabuai, Austral Islands, French Polynesia Known from subfossil remains. It possibly disappeared around 1300 CE, soon after the arrival of Polynesians.[14]
Huahine rail Hypotaenidia storrsolsoni Huahine, Society Islands, French Polynesia Most recent remains at Fa'ahia dated to 700-1150 CE.[7] Its remains were found in Polynesian middens, and it likely disappeared due to hunting or predation by introduced mammals.[14]
Rota rail Hypotaenidia temptatus Rota, Mariana Islands Known from subfossil remains.[14]
Vava'u rail Hypotaenidia vavauensis Vava'u, Tonga Depicted alive by the Malaspina Expedition in 1793.[14] Its existence was confirmed with the finding of Lapita culture remains in 2004-2014.[18]
Eua rail Hypotaenidia vekamatolu ʻEua, Tonga Known from subfossil remains. It disappeared between the arrival of Polynesians around 1300 and Europeans in 1800.[14]
Wake Island rail Hypotaenidia wakensis Wake and Wilkes Island Likely hunted to extinction by besieged Japanese Empire troops during the World War II occupation of Wake Island.[14]
Hiva Oa rail Hypotaenidia sp. Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands One of only two rail species from eastern Polynesia. It was flightless.[14]
New Caledonian gallinule Porphyrio kukwiedei New Caledonia Most recent remains at the Pindai Caves dated to 86-428 CE.[7] A possible native name, n'dino, was recorded in 1860.[14]
Huahine swamphen Porphyrio mcnabi Huahine, Society Islands, French Polynesia Most recent remains at Fa'ahia dated to 700-1150 CE.[7]
Marquesas swamphen Porphyrio paepae Hiva Oa and Tahuata, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia Though described from subfossil remains, it could have survived until the 20th century on account of a gallinule depicted being hunted by a dog on the 1902 painting Le Sorcier d'Hiva Oa, by Paul Gauguin. Thor Heyerdahl also observed a similar bird in 1937.[14]
Rota swamphen Porphyrio sp. Rota, Mariana Islands Known from subfossil remains.[24]
Viti Levu rail Vitirallus watlingi Viti Levu, Fiji Known from subfossil remains. It was apparently restricted to lowlands, which would be more susceptible to fires. Likely disappeared due to hunting, habitat destruction, and predation by introduced mammals like the Polynesian rat.[14]
Kosrae crake Zapornia monasa Kosrae, Micronesia Known from two individuals collected in 1827-1828. Considered sacred by the natives and not hunted, it likely disappeared due to predation by rats, which were plentiful by the time ornithologists fruitlessly searched for the bird again, in 1880.[14]
Tahiti crake Zapornia nigra Tahiti, Society Islands, and possibly Mangaia, Cook Islands Depicted by Georg Forster during Cook's second voyage (1772-1775); John Frederick Miller's more famous painting from 1784 is a copy. It disappeared soon after from Tahiti but it or a similar species (different from Zapornia rua) could have survived in Mangaia until recently.[14]
Mangaia crake Zapornia rua Mangaia, Cook Islands Known from subfossil remains.[14]
Easter Island crake Zapornia sp. Easter Island, Chile Disappeared between 1000 and 1430 CE.[14]
Buka swamphen Porphyrio sp. Buka Island, Autonomous Region of Bougainville Prehistoric

New Caledonian rail Gallirallus lafresnayanus New Caledonia Not seen with certainty since 1890 and likely extirpated by predation from introduced rats, cats, and pigs. However, unconfirmed sightings in the 1960s and 1984 may hint to its survival in montane forests inaccessible to such predators.[36][14]
Samoan wood rail Pareudiastes pacificus Savai'i, Samoa Last seen in 1873 and likely extirpated by hunting and predation by introduced rats, cats, dogs, and pigs.[37][14]
Makira woodhen Pareudiastes silvestris Makira, Solomon Islands Known from the type collected in 1929 and a single confirmed observation in 1953. It likely declined due to introduced predators like cats, dogs, and electric ants.[38][14]

Viti Levu snipe Coenocorypha miratropica Viti Levu, Fiji Known from subfossil remains. Probably disappeared due to predation by introduced pigs, dogs, and Polynesian rats.[14]
New Caledonian snipe Coenocorypha neocaledonica[40] New Caledonia Known from two subfossil humeri and a coracoid. Probably driven to extinction by introduced rats.[14]
Christmas sandpiper Prosobonia cancellata Kiritimati, Kiribati Only known from the type, collected in 1778 and subsequently lost. It was probably exterminated by invasive cats.[14]
Moorea sandpiper Prosobonia ellisi Moorea, Society Islands, French Polynesia Only known from two paintings based on individuals collected during Cook's third voyage in 1777, and subsequently lost.[41] Some authors suggest it was the same species as the Tahiti sandpiper, while others defend its specific status on plumage differences. In the absence of specimens, the species must be considered dubious.[14] It was probably exterminated by invasive mammals, though habitat destruction could have been another factor.[14]
Tahiti sandpiper Prosobonia leucoptera Tahiti, Society Islands, French Polynesia Known from an individual collected during Cook's voyage in 1773. It could have been driven to extinction by habitat destruction caused by invasive pigs and goats, or predation by rats.[14]

Common name Scientific name Range Comments
Huahine gull Chroicocephalus utunui Huahine, Society Islands, French Polynesia Most recent remains dated to 700-1150 CE.[7] It could have disappeared due to hunting, habitat loss, disease, or predation from introduced mammals.[14]

Buttonquails (family Turnicidae)

[edit]
Common name Scientific name Range Comments
New Caledonian buttonquail Turnix varius novaecaledoniae New Caledonia Known only from the type specimen collected in 1889 and subfossil remains. Studies of owl pellets are consistent with the subspecies (or species) gradually declining over time and becoming extinct shortly after it was described. Deforestation through burning and introduced mammals could have contributed to its extinction.[14]

Common name Scientific name Range Comments
Ua Huka booby Papasula abbotti costelloi Ua Huka and Tahuata, Marquesas Islands Only known from subfossil remains at archaeological middens, indicating that it was regularly hunted by Polynesians before its extinction around 1200 CE. It was larger than Abbott's booby and may be a different species. It probably nested only in tall trees, like Abbott's booby, which would also make it vulnerable to habitat destruction.[14]
Locally extinct

Raiatea parakeet Cyanoramphus ulietanus Raiatea, Society Islands, French Polynesia Known from two individuals generally believed to have been collected during Cook's second voyage in 1773 or 1774, though 1777 during the third voyage is also possible.[14]
Black-fronted parakeet Cyanoramphus zealandicus Tahiti, Society Islands, French Polynesia Last collected in 1844. It could have become extinct due to habitat loss, hunting, or predation by introduced species.[45]
Oceanic eclectus Eclectus infectus 'Eua, Lifuka, Uiha, and Vava'u in Tonga; possibly also Vanuatu and Fiji Described from subfossil remains. A live bird from Vava'u was likely depicted by members of the Malaspina Expedition in 1793. It presumably became extinct soon after due to hunting and predation by introduced mammals.[14]
Sinoto's lorikeet Vini sinotoi Marquesas and Society Islands Most recent remains dated to 810-1025 CE.[46] It could have become extinct due to predation by Polynesian rats.[14]

Mangareva reed warbler Acrocephalus astrolabii unknown; possibly the Gambier Islands, French Polynesia Known only from two individuals collected by Jules Dumont d'Urville in either 1826-1829 or 1838-1839. Likely disappeared due to deforestation and introduced predators.[14]
Moorea reed warbler Acrocephalus longirostris Moorea, Society Islands, French Polynesia Last recorded in 1973; a later reported observation is unconfirmed. It probably disappeared due to severe deforestation, predation by introduced mammals, or avian malaria which was introduced to the island in the 1970s.[14]
Nightingale reed warbler Acrocephalus luscinius Guam Last recorded in 1969. It was driven to extinction by the introduced predatory brown tree snake. Habitat loss caused by fire and drainage of wetlands, pesticide use, and additional introduced predators like cats and rats were also contributing factors.[14]
Huahine warbler Acrocephalus musae garretti Huahine, Society Islands, French Polynesia Only known from five individuals collected around 1869. It likely became extinct due to predation by introduced rats.[14]
Raiatea warbler Acrocephalus musae musae Raiatea, Society Islands, French Polynesia Last collected between 1870 and 1873.[14]
Aguijan reed warbler Acrocephalus nijoi Aguiguan, Mariana Islands Last recorded in the mid-1990s. Extinct due to habitat loss caused by deforestation and grazing by introduced goats.[14]
Pagan reed warbler Acrocephalus yamashinae Pagan, Mariana Islands Last recorded in the 1970s. It was made extinct by draining its wetland habitat for agriculture, grazing feral livestock destroying the understorey, which it used to breed, predation by introduced cats and rats, and general increase in land use by the military. If still alive in 1981, it might have been wiped out by a volcanic eruption that destroyed much of the remaining woody vegetation.[14]

Monarch flycatchers (family Monarchidae)

[edit]
Common name Scientific name Range Comments Pictures
Guam flycatcher Myiagra freycineti Guam Once common through the island, its population crashed rapidly after brown tree snakes were introduced, becoming restricted to the northern plateau in 1971, then to the Pajon Basin in early 1983. By the time a captive breeding program was set up in October of the same year, only one male could be found and captured. This animal died in captivity in May 1984 of unknown causes. Introduced diseases could also have contributed to its extinction.[14]
Myiagra sp. Ua Huka, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia Known from subfossil remains.[14]
Eiao monarch Pomarea fluxa Eiao, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia Last recorded in 1977. Disappeared soon after the chestnut-breasted mannikin was introduced to the island, implying that a exotic avian disease was transmitted to the population. The species may have also declined earlier due to habitat loss caused by sheep grazing, and predation by feral cats, black rats, and Polynesian rats.[53]
Nuku Hiva monarch Pomarea nukuhivae Nuku Hiva, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia Last recorded in the 1930s. Declined due to habitat loss caused by intense grazing and fire, and predation by introduced species including the black rat.[54]
Maupiti monarch Pomarea pomarea Maupiti, Society Islands, French Polynesia Known only from the type specimen, collected in 1823. It was likely driven extinct by introduced species.[55]
Possibly extinct

Delcourt's giant gecko Gigarcanum delcourti unknown; probably New Caledonia Only known from a unlabelled, stuffed specimen discovered in the collections of the Natural History Museum of Marseille in 1986. The provenance and date of collection are unknown, but it is estimated to have been deposited in the 1830s on the style of preservation. The species was originally assigned to the New Zealand genus Hoplodactylus and speculated to be the inspiration of the kawekaweau of Maori folklore, but a genetic phylogeny in 2023 placed it among New Caledonian geckos instead.[57]

Giant Fiji ground frog Platymantis megabotoniviti Viti Levu, Fiji Became extinct after humans arrived on Fiji with the commensal Polynesian rat and large New Guinea spiny rat during the first millennium BCE. Unlike other platymantine frogs that survived, it was a fully terrestrial species that didn't climb trees nor live near water. It probably also had relatively large eggs and juveniles, like its relatives, all of which would make this species more vulnerable to introduced predators.[60]

Levuana moth Levuana iridescens Viti Levu, Fiji Last recorded in 1956. The extinction followed the introduction of the parasitic fly Bessa remota by coconut farmers, as a form of biological pest control. However, it's been argued that L. iridescens was not actually native to Fiji and that lack of post-1956 records is the result of diminished enthomological research after Fiji's independence.[62]
