South Island snipe : ウィキペディア英語版 | South Island snipe
The South Island snipe (''Coenocorypha iredalei''), also known as the Stewart Island snipe or tutukiwi in Maori, is an extinct species of bird in the sandpiper family, Scolopacidae, that was endemic to New Zealand. ==Taxonomy and etymology== Determination of the taxonomy of ''Coenocorypha'' snipe has been hindered by lack of material, erroneous locality data, misidentified specimens and confused nomenclature.〔Higgins & Davies (1996).〕 The South Island snipe was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the Subantarctic snipe (''Coenocorypha aucklandica''), but has since been elevated to a full species, with fossil material from the South Island referred to it.〔Worthy ''et al''. (2002).〕〔Baker ''et al''. (2009).〕 The specific epithet honours ornithologist Tom Iredale. The Maori name, "tutukiwi", which may be applied to other ''Coenocorypha'' snipes, alludes to the bird’s fancied resemblance to a miniature kiwi.〔Oliver (2005).〕
