Hypothetical species
Postulated extinct species without evidence
A 1722 illustration by Jean-Baptiste Labat of three parrots on Guadeloupe . There are no remains of these parrots and so accurate taxonomic classification is impossible. Several species have been assumed to exist, but due to a lack of physical evidence they can only be regarded as potential species . Hypothetical species are usually believed to be extinct. They have caused confusion, as they may have been a separate species , a subspecies , an introduced species or a misidentification.[ 1]
