MEGAPODIUS ALIMENTUM STEADMAN, 1989 A
Material: Hopoate: NISP = 12, MNI = 2. Nukuleka: NISP = 1, MNI = 1. Ofu: NISP = 35, MNI = 4. Falevai: NISP = 7, MNI = 2. Vuna: NISP = 21, MNI = 4.
Remarks: The bones of this medium-sized megapode were identified to genus by the features described by Worthy (2000) and Worthy et al. (2015) and were compared directly with specimens of Megapodius reinwardt Dumont, 1823 . Their size ( Table 2) matches those of M. alimentum measured by Worthy (2000), who also provides sizes of bones of other megapodes.
