Tanna Ground Dove
The Tanna ground dove (''Pampusana ferruginea''), also known as Forster's dove of Tanna, is an extinct dove species. Its taxonomic affiliation is uncertain but at its first scientific discussion by Johann Georg Wagler in 1829 it was classified into the genus Gallicolumba (which includes ground doves and bleeding-hearts); its closest relative is possibly the Santa Cruz ground dove. It was endemic to the Pacific island of Tanna, Vanuatu (formerly the New Hebrides). Forster records a native name ''mahk'', almost certainly from the Kwamera language. Taxonomy The taxonomic authority is often given as Wagler (1829). However, although Forster's ''Descriptiones…'' was finally printed in 1844, some time after Wagler's treatise, the original description was written in 1775 and thus predates Wagler. This species was formerly in the genus ''Alopecoenas'' Sharpe, 1899, but the name of the genus was changed in 2019 to ''Pampusana'' Bonaparte, 1855 as this name has priority. Descrip ...
