Moho bishopi

Bishop's ʻōʻō or the Molokai ʻōʻō is an extinct species of Hawaiian honeyeater. The penultimate member of the family, it went extinct six years before the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō. It was previously regarded as member of the Australo-Pacific honeyeaters (Meliphagidae). Lionel Walter Rothschild named it after Charles Reed Bishop, the founder of the Bishop Museum.
