Systematics History

Previously considered conspecific with †A. luscinius, †A. nijoi and †A. yamashinae. Provenance unknown and earlier speculated as being from Yap (Caroline Is) 1; now known to be closely related to A. atyphus and thought to originate from Mangareva (Gambier Is) 2. Monotypic.

Subspecies

Monotypic.

Distribution

Mangareva, in Gambier Is (SE Tuamotu Is).

Known only from two specimens collected during Second Antarctic Expedition 1838–1839 2. There appear to be no subsequent records. It is speculated that it disappeared in the mid-19th century as a result of deforestation and the effects of introduced predators.
