It is known only from subfossil remains found on the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. It probably became extinct at the end of the last glacial period, or the early Holocene, as the climate became warmer.[2] EtymologyThe specific name of the taxon comes from pacificus plus Greek oides (like or resembling), from its relationship to the living species Puffinus pacificus.[3] References1. ^Olson, pp. 18–19. 2. ^Lewis, p. 140. 3. ^Olson, p. 19.
