New Zealand Pigeons
Hemiphaga
Hemiphaga is the genus containing two large species of pigeons from New Zealand. The two are traditionally considered conspecific, but in 2001 it was proposed that H. chathamensis should be considered a separate species instead of a subspecies of H. novaeseelandiae. It is here listed as a species, although few authorities outside New Zealand have followed this.
