Rallicola extinctus is an extinct species of phtilopterid louse.[2] The parasite was only known to live on the now extinct huia and is thought to have become extinct with its host.[3] Like its host, it was endemic to New Zealand's North Island.

Taxonomy[edit]

It was initially placed in its own separate genus, Huiacola, which means "huia inhabitant", but this is now considered a subgenus.
