Former range

The Mauritian turtle dove (Nesoenas cicur) is an extinct species of the pigeon genus Nesoenas which was endemic to Mauritius. The holotype is a right tarsometatarsus collected in 2008 in southeastern Mauritius.[2] It became extinct around 1730 because of overhunting, predation by rats, and deforestation.[3]
