Justification of Red List category
This species has not been recorded since the type series collection in 1838 or 1839, likely driven to extinction by deforestation and introduced predators.

Population justification
None remain.

Trend justification
The species was not recorded again after the first specimens were collected in 1839-39, and hence is considered extinct (Holyoak and Thibault 1978, Kennerley and Pearson 2010).

This species is known from two specimens thought to have come from the Gambier Islands, French Polynesia (Cibois et al. 2011, Hume 2017).

Essentially nothing is known about this species' ecology. It presumably occupied habitat similar to closely related Acrocephalus species such as A. percernis.

This species was likely driven to extinction by deforestation and the introduction of predators (Hume 2017).
