The Bonin grosbeak or Bonin Islands grosbeak (Carpodacus ferreorostris) is an extinct finch. It is one of the diverse bird taxa that are vernacularly called "grosbeaks", but it is not closely related to the grosbeaks sensu stricto. Many authorities place the species in the genus Carpodacus, but some place it in its own genus, Chaunoproctus.

This list includes 18 extinct species, the Bonin grosbeak and 17 Hawaiian honeycreepers. [ 1 ] This list is presented according to the IOC taxonomic sequence and can also be sorted alphabetically by common name, binomial, population, and status.
The Japanese woodpigeon was extirpated in the Iwo Island groups in the 1980s. The formerly endemic Bonin pigeon (Columba versicolor), Bonin thrush (Zoothera terrestris) and Bonin grosbeak (Carpodacus ferreorostris) are now extinct. [16] A small bat, Sturdee's pipistrelle, is only known in one record and has not been seen since 1915.

Among birds, the Bonin white-eye (Apalopteron familiare), a gaudy-colored passerine, seems to occur nowhere else anymore than on Hahajima. [6] The extinct Bonin grosbeak (Chaunoproctus ferreorostris) is sometimes said to have occurred in the Hahajima Group (though not on Haha-jima itself), but this seems not to be true.
Bonin grosbeak: Carpodacus ferreorostris: Chichi-jima, Bonin Islands Last collected in 1828; claims of survival until 1890 are not substantiated. Likely disappeared because of deforestation and predation by introduced rats and cats. [104]
Japan has no endemic families. It has one endemic genus: Apalopteron, which contains the Bonin white-eye. [1] [2] The extinct Bonin grosbeak was formerly considered the only member of the genus Chaunoproctus, but taxonomic analysis supports it as being a basal member of the rosefinch genus Carpodacus. [3]
