Acrocephalus familiaris (Rothschild, 1892) |
The Millerbird (Acrocephalus familiaris) has two subspecies, A. f. kingi and A f. familiaris. The latter, the Laysan Millerbird, became extinct sometime between 1916 and 1923. The former, the critically endangered Nihoa Millerbird, remains the only race left, inhabiting the small island Nihoa in Hawaii.
