Moa-nalo are a group of extinct, flightless, large goose-like ducks, which evolved in the Hawaiian Islands of the North Pacific Ocean.[1] EtymologyThe specific epithet comes from the Greek xanion (“comb”), referring to the bony, tooth-like projections on the jaws.[1] DistributionThe species was described in 1991 from subfossil material collected by Storrs Olson, Helen James, Aki Sinoto and Eric Komori, from Barbers Point on the island of O{{okina}}ahu. Remains of the bird have also been recovered from Ulupau Head on the same island. It was smaller and less robust than its only congener, the Maui Nui large-billed moa-nalo.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite journal |author=Olson, Storrs L. |author-link=Storrs Olson |author2=James, Helen F. |author2-link=Helen James |year= 1991 |title= Descriptions of thirty-two new species of birds from the Hawaiian Islands: Part I.
