The validity of the taxon has subsequently been questioned because of the fragmentary nature of the fossils, the lack of distinguishability of some of them from Eudyptes, and their origin in different stratigraphic layers of the midden.[2] Subsequent DNA tests of the material assigned to Tasidyptes hunteri showed that the material itself belonged to three different penguin species, the Fiordland crested penguin, Snares crested penguin, and fairy penguin.[3] References1. ^{{cite journal |author1=Tets, GF van |author2=O'Connor, S |year= 1983|title= The Hunter Island Penguin; An Extinct New Genus and Species from a Tasmanian Midden |journal= Records of the Queen Victoria Museum |volume= 81|issue= |pages= 1–13|url= }} {{DEFAULTSORT:penguin, Hunter Island}}{{Paleo-bird-stub}}2. ^{{cite journal |author1=Park, Travis |author2=Fitzgerald, Erich MD |year= 2012|title= A Review of Australian Fossil Penguins (Aves: Sphenisciformes)|journal= Memoirs of Museum Victoria |volume= 69|issue= |pages= 309–325|url=http://museumvictoria.com.au/pages/41623/momv-2012-vol-69-pp309-325.pdf }} 3. ^Theresa L Cole, Jonathan M Waters, Lara D Shepherd, Nicolas J Rawlence, Leo Joseph, Jamie R Wood; Ancient DNA reveals that the ‘extinct’ Hunter Island penguin (Tasidyptes hunteri) is not a distinct taxon.
