Old World babbler
In 1987, the British ornithologist Graham S. Cowles prepared a manuscript that described a new species of Old World babbler, "Rodriguites microcarina", based on an incomplete sternum found in a cave on Rodrigues. In 1989, the name was mistakenly published before the description, making it a nomen nudum. Later examination of the sternum by Hume showed that "Rodriguites microcarina" was identical to the Rodrigues starling.
