Zoothera talaseae is a very infrequently recorded species of Umboi, New Britain and Bougainville islands in Papua New Guinea. It has only been recorded once on Umboi, at 1,300 m 2, and from about four mountains between 580-1,430 m on New Britain1,3,4. The subspecies atrigena of Bougainville, which may prove to be a separate species, is known only from the type-locality at 1,500 m 5,6. As with other Zoothera spp., it is a very secretive species and is likely to have been under-recorded. However, it does appear to have a small total population size.

Conservation Actions
None is known.
Conservation Actions Proposed
Identify and effectively protect a network of reserves, including some containing large areas of montane forest and some large community-based conservation areas. Continue to monitor trends in forest loss. Research its tolerance of degraded forest. Research the effects of introduced predators on populations. Re-discover the subspecies atrigena. Investigate the taxonomic status of the two taxa.

Zoothera talaseae is a very infrequently recorded species of Umboi, New Britain and Bougainville islands in Papua New Guinea. It has only been recorded once on Umboi, at 1,300 m (Diamond 1976), and from about four mountains between 580-1,430 m on New Britain (Coates 1990, G. Dutson pers. obs. 1997-1998, D.Gibbs verbally 1998). The subspecies atrigena of Bougainville, which may prove to be a separate species, is known only from the type-locality at 1,500 m in one region in the Crown Prince Range (Hadden 1981, Ripley and Hadden 1982). As with other Zoothera spp., it is a very secretive species and is likely to have been under-recorded. However, it does appear to have a moderately small total population size.
