Population justification: None remain.

Trend justification: The exact timing of this species' extinction is uncertain, occurring sometime after 1674 (Hume 2017). The species was first recorded soon after the discovery of Mauritius in 1598 (Hume 2017). The species was a poor flier, and so it is suggested that it eventually became extinct due to the prolonged impacts of introduced monkeys and rats (Hume 2017).
