The Kauaʻi mole duck〔Julian Pender Hume, Michael Walters: ''Extinct Birds''. A & C Black, London 2012. ISBN 140815725X., p 57〕 (''Talpanas lippa'') is an extinct species of duck. It was first described by Andrew N. Iwaniuk, Storrs L. Olson, and Helen F. James in the journal ''Zootaxa'' in November 2009. It is the only known member of the genus ''Talpanas''. It was endemic to the Hawaiian island of Kauai where the fossil remains were unearthed in the Makauwahi Cave, Maha‘ulepu.〔 The archaeological association of the bones is about 6000 years BP (around 4050 BCE). ==Etymology== The genus name ''Talpanas'' is taken from the Latin word ''talpa'', meaning mole and referring to the small size of the eyes, and the Greek word ''anas'', or duck. The species name ''lippa'' is from the Latin ''lippus'', meaning "nearly blind".〔
