   O'ahu Creeper

   Paroreomyza maculata (Cabanis, 1851)

   KINGDOM: Animal GROUP: Bird

   PHYLUM: Chordata CLASS: Aves
   ORDER: Passeriformes FAMILY: Fringillidae

   Male O'ahu creepers (Paroreomyza maculata) are small birds, olive
   green above and golden yellow below. Females and immatures are gray
   above, yellowish white below with prominent white wing bars (15).
   O'ahu creepers have dark lores with a prominent pale superciliary
   stripe (15). The O'ahu creeper's bill is straight, in contrast to the
   decurved bill of the similar O'ahu 'amakihi.
   "Creepers" in Hawai'I were first allocated among several genera
   (16,17), but soon a consensus developed that these birds were closely
   related among themselves (11,18). The O'ahu creeper was originally
   named Himatione maculata by Cabanis, 1851, Mus. Heineanum, 1, p. 100
   (footnote), (O'ahu) (02). Early 20th century authors classified the
   forms as five species of the genus Oreomyza. Amadon (19) lumped all
   five creepers as subspecies of one species, Loxops maculata. Munro
   (20) placed all five as separate species within the genus Paroreomyza.
   In a systematic study of the family, Pratt (03) recognized five creeper species in two genera (Oreomystis and Paroreomyza).

   This
   classification has been adopted by the AOU and other authors (05).
   Pratt's classification identifies species of Oreomystis on Kaua'I
   (O. bairdi) and Hawai'I (O. mana). He recognized three species of the
   genus Paroreomyza on the central Hawaiian Islands (P. maculata -
   O'ahu; P. flammea - Moloka'I; and P. montana - Lana'I and Mau'I). In
   its original listing of the O'ahu creeper, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
   Serivce listed it at the subspecific level as Oreomystis maculata
   maculata. It is now listed at the specific level as Paroreomyza
   maculata.
   One subspecies of the O'ahu creeper is known as the Hawaiian
   creeper (on the island of O'ahu). This species is also known by the
   Hawaiian name 'alauwahio (02), O'ahu 'alauwahio (02), 'akikiki,
   kakawahie, and 'alauahio.
