It was believed to have become extinct in the late 18th century or early 19th century on Lord Howe Island because of predation by visiting sailors, with the last sight record dating from 1788, when it was already extinct on Norfolk Island. However, this taxon has more recently Priddel et al. 2005 been considered to be a subspecies of the Masked Booby , Sula dactylatra tasmani , still extant as a breeding species on Lord Howe Island, and more recently described as S. d. fullagari . Holdaway & Anderson 2001 attribute subfossil material from Norfolk Island simply to Sula dactylatra . Research at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch New Zealand indicates that the proposal of Priddel s team is correct, and the Masked Booby subspecies fullagari is actually the descendants of tasmani . The latter name, being older, would thus apply to both. ref http www.comsdev.canterbury.ac.nz news 2009 090812a.shtml Extinct seabird rediscovered in laboratory ref References AtollResBull541 237 Reflist IUCN2006 assessors BirdLife International year 2004 id 61927 title Sula tasmani downloaded 11 May 2006 Database entry includes justification for why this species is extinct note that this information is outdated Holdaway, Richard N. & Anderson, Atholl. 2001 .
