Tubuai Ground Dove (Pampusana sp.)
This form is known from subfossil remains that were recovered from archaeological deposits on the island of Taubuai, Austral Islands. [1]
The Tubuai Ground Dove may be identical with one of the congeneric forms that had been found on the island of Rurutu, also in the Austral archipelago.
