The Mukojima White-eye (Apalopteron familiare familiare), incorrectly known as the Mukojima Honeyeater, is the extinct nominate subspecies of the Bonin White-eye (formerly Bonin Honeyeater). It occurred on Muko-jima and Nakodo-jima in the northern group of the Ogasawara Islands. The last record were specimens taken in January 1930 on Muko-jima; by then, the bird was already gone from Nakodo-jima. In 1941, the subspecies was found to have gone extinct in the meantime.
