| Abstract: | The distinctiveness of the brown kiwi population at Okarito, West Coast, South Island, has been documented by morphological, parasitological, field, and genetic data in this and other studies. We formally describe and name this taxon as Apteryx rowi. This action aims to forestall use and repetition of recently-published nomina nuda, and also provides a valid scientific name for a critically endangered population. |
