dct:abstract

Larus utunui is described from 12 bones (10 different skeletal elements from two individuals) excavated at the Fa'ahia archeological site Huahine, Society Islands. Resident species of Larus no longer occur in Polynesia, the nearest populations being those of L. novaehollandiae in New Caledonia (4200 km W of Huahine) and of L. novaehollandiae, L. bulleri, and L. dominicanus in New Zealand (3800 km SW of Huahine). Osteological similarities, especially in post-cranial elements, suggest that L. novaehollandiae may be the nearest living relative of L. utunui.
