Comments | Considered established shortly after introduction. A few scattered specimens were taken in the 1980s and early 1990s, but the absence of specimens since the mid-1990s lead Mundy (2005) to "cast doubt" on the current status of the species in Hawaii. It is unclear whether the original introduced stock ever reproduced. |
