The Lana'i 'alauahio (Paroreomyza montana montana) was found on much of Lanai’s land. It apparently was common until the early 1900s when there appeared to have been a steep decline in birds on the island. It was similar to the Maui alauahio and this species may have reacted similarly to its existing relative, to which it was considered conspecific. This bird disappeared along with many others, such as the Lanai hookbill which had disappeared earlier. Order: Passeriformes, Family: Fringillidae, Subfamily: Carduelinae, Subspecies: Paroreomyza montana montana (S.B. Wilson, 1890)
