Prosobonia ellisi

Two specimens were collected by William Anderson between September 30 and October 11, 1777, during Captain Cook’s third voyage, but both have since disappeared and the bird became extinct in the nineteenth century. The only hint at its former existence are Anderson's notes and the descriptions based on them, a painting by William Ellis and a plate by J. Webber which apparently depicts the other specimen.

The Prosobonia ellisi is classified as Extinct (EX), there is no reasonable doubt that the last individual has died.
