Small-billed moa-nalo : ウィキペディア英語版 | Small-billed moa-nalo
The small-billed moa-nalo (''Ptaiochen pau''), also known as the stumbling moa-nalo, is a species of moa-nalo, one of a group of extinct, flightless, large goose-like ducks, which evolved in the Hawaiian Islands of the North Pacific Ocean. It was described in 1991 from subfossil material collected in September 1982 by Storrs Olson, Helen James and others, from the Auwahi Cave on the southern slopes of Haleakalā, on the island of Maui.〔 ==Etymology== The generic name ''Ptaiochen'' links the Greek ''ptaio'' (“stumble”), with ''chen'' (“goose”), alluding to a fancied propensity of the species to fall into holes (thereby becoming part of the fossil record). The specific epithet is from the Hawaiian ''pau'' (“finished” or “destroyed”), referring to its extinction.〔
