- Hemignathus munroi
Identification
Location: eastern saddle, Hawai'i Island
Distribution
Taxonomy
The strict SM intrepretation of this bird is as Akiapolaau - Hemignathus wilsoni. The use of wilsoni in a broader genus Hemignathus is already preoccupied as a subspecific taxon name of Hawaii Amakihi , i.e., Hemignathus virens wilsoni. Therefore, the use of wilsoni as a specific taxon name is incorrect. The consensus in taxonomic circles is to use the specific taxon name - munroi - for this bird.
