Only one species now exists, and it is rare and little known. This bird is sometimes separated in the genus Aechmorhynchus , restricting the genus to the extinct southern forms. The Tuamotu Sandpiper , P. cancellata , is a unique short billed all brown wader previously found over a large area of the Pacific, but now confined to a few islands in the Tuamotu archipelago and still declining. Its decline appears to be due to human habitation encroachment and introduced mammals. It feeds on insects, but takes some vegetable material from its coastal haunts. It nests on the ground, and has a soft piping call. The extinct Tahitian Sandpiper , P. leucoptera of Tahiti was similar in size and shape to P. cancellata . It had brown upperparts, reddish underparts, a white wingbar, and some white on the face and throat. It became extinct in the 19th century, and little is known of it. There was a similar bird on Moorea which differed in some minor details from P. leucoptera , notably the larger extent of white in the wing, and has been described as White winged Sandpiper P. ellisi . However, although two species are generally listed, the question whether they actually did constitute separate species is probably unresolvable as only a single specimen of it exists today, apart from some contemporary paintings.
