| History: |
|
| Range Description: | Coua delalandei is known from 13 specimens, all apparently collected on Ile de Sainte-Marie (Nosy Boraha), Madagascar, with the most recent from 18341. Reports from 19304 are unfounded, and it is now considered extinct2. |
| Habitat and Ecology: | It was a terrestrial species of primary rainforest1. |
| Systems: | Terrestrial |
| Major Threat(s): | The complete deforestation of Ile de Sainte-Marie was presumably the ultimate cause of its extinction3. Snaring for feathers and food and predation by introduced rats may also have contributed to the species's demise2. |
