Population justification: None remain.
Trend justification: Little is known about the decline of this species, first mentioned in 1725-26, and reportedly rare by 1761 (Pingré 1763). The account by Pingré was the last record of the species, so it presumably became extinct shortly after from a combination of forest clearance, over-hunting, and predation by rats and cats (Hume 2017).
