Pezophaps solitaria was endemic to Rodrigues, Mauritius, from where it is known from numerous historical accounts1, with those of Leguat in 1708 providing particularly rich detail3, and many bones2. They were very rare by 1755 when Cossigny tried to obtain one without success, but was told that the species did still survive1. It was definitely extinct by the 1760s1.
