It was endemic to the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic. It was probably flightless.[2] The first analysis of this species was given in 1963 by the British zoologist Philip Ashmole, who discovered in the Dry Gut sediments in the east of Saint Helena a left humerus which differed significantly from that of other Upupidae. The incomplete skeleton, which was found in 1975 by the palaeontologist Storrs L. Olson, consists of both coracoids and the left femur.[2] References1. ^{{IUCN|id=22728670 |title=Upupa antaios |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q941714}}{{DEFAULTSORT:hoopoe, Saint Helena}}2. ^1 Storrs L.
