This list of Malesian animals extinct in the Holocene features animals known to have become extinct in the last 12,000 years on the islands of Southeast Asia, studied in Biogeography as part of the Malesian region.
Introduced to Sulu in the Philippines in the 14th century, before its extinction in Java; survived in the former until its extermination in 1850. However, the extant Bornean elephant has been suggested to have originated from Sulu stock and not be native to the island. If true, this would make the subspecies E. m. sondaicus synonymous with E. m. borneensis and not globally extinct.[1]
Most recent remains at Tabubung 4 dated to 62 BCE - 87 AD. The extinction coincides with a period of aridification, deforestation, and extinction of other giant rat species in the island.[2]
Only known from one specimen collected in 1953, generally believed to be from Ilin Island but this is not certain, and could be Mindoro or another nearby location. Later searches in Ilin and Mindoro repeatedly failed to find evidence of this species. If native to Ilin, ir could have been threatened by deforestation as the island has no primary forest left in the present.[6]
Last confirmed individual killed in 1937.[9] Named as a separate subspecies in 1912 (P. t. balica), but later included in P. t. sondaica on genetic grounds.[10]
A navicular from Borneo was dated to 8550-1050 BCE. Survival into even more recent times in the island has been proposed on the basis of teeth and skins owned by indigenous peoples, local names, folklore, and alleged sightings including two photographs taken in 1975. However, most authors discount these remains as imports from outside Borneo, and the photographs as hoaxes.[12]
Population of the Sunda Island tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica)
Java, Indonesia
Last known individual killed at the Mount Halimun Salak National Park in 1984.[9] Though named a distinct subspecies in 1844, genetic research indicates that it is not different enough from the extant Sumatran tiger, and as a result the taxon P. t. sondaica is not extinct.[10]
Described from skulls collected in Cebu island, where the species Sus cebifrons is now extinct, but lack of other remains makes the subspecies distinction with other Philippine islands populations dubious.[13] The whole species is threatened by habitat fragmentation caused by logging and agriculture, hunting pressure, and hybridization with domestic pigs.[14]
Cattle, goats, antelopes, and others (family Bovidae)
Described from two individuals collected in 1891, when it was considered extremely rare, but there were unconfirmed local reports in 1995 that it was abundant until the 1970s. Possibly became extinct due to hunting and deforestation.[18]
Only known from the type specimen, a female, collected in 1953. Its mate was also shot but the body fell in the underbrush and could not be retrieved. Likely disappeared due to hunting and large escale deforestation of the island.[17]
The extirpated Philippine population was described as the subspecies G. a. luzonica on the basis of differences with the Indian (G. a. antigone) and Indochinese subspecies (G. a. sharpii), but genetic studies indicate that it was identical to the Australian subspecies.[19]
All reliable and recent records are from Java, with those from other islands being open to interpretation. The last confirmed record was in 1940, and unconfirmed in 2002. Possibly a migratory species. The causes of extinction are unknown but could have been hunting and habitat degradation.[17]
Only known from the holotype collected in 1866, it is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Sulawesi scops owl (Otus manadensis). Likely disappeared due to deforestation.[17]
Only known from the holotype described in 1927 and lost in the destruction of the Bureau of Science in Manila in 1945. It has been ruled invalid by some authors because the original description (as the full species Phodilus riverae) did not include comparison with other subspecies.[21]
Last recorded in 1971; it likely disappeared due to hunting and widespread deforestation. The subspecies status is uncertain and is sometimes considered a color morph instead.[17]
The last individuals in captivity died in London in 1943, after being caught in the wild in 1929. The date of extinction in the wild is unclear, but was likely caused by widespread deforestation in the 19th and 20th centuries. 2004 reports likely belonged to other subspecies subsequently introduced to the island.[17]
Last recorded in 1908; a claimed individual collected in 1954 was actually a escaped cage bird. The subspecies likely disappeared due to deforestation and capture for the pet trade.[17]
Last collected in 1918. There are some doubts about the original distribution, as only four skins are known: two acquired in Peninsular Malaysia where they were certainly imported from elsewhere, and two from Medan. If not migratory, it probably became extinct as a result of widespread deforestation in Medan.[17]
Additional three species are considered possibly extinct: Barbodes cataractae, B. lindog, and B. sirang. B. lindog and B. sirang have reported sightings within the last ten years (2008 for the former and 2016 for the latter). The B. cataractae on the other hand has not been recorded during the market surveys of 1973 to 2017.[40][41][42]
Endemic to Taal lake, being the only freshwater species within the genus and only located on a limited area; it has not been sighted in surveys since 1996.[44]
Reported extinct in the Philippines by the IUCN during its assessment in 2009 (published in 2012), experiencing massive population reduction by 60-70% in a span of 20–30 years.[46] It, however, was still observed in Siquijor in 2020 comprising 18.6% out of 209 of the collected sample of juvenile parrotfish species.[47] Otherwise, its global population is still under least concern category.[46]
Locally known as tughud in cebuano. It is classified as data deficient in IUCN Red List but is considered to be possibly extinct in 2015 as the river it resides is polluted.[48] There were alleged sightings in 2019.[49]
Last collected in 1934. The coasts it inhabited are heavily exploited, both for fishing and shark fishing, as well as degraded for use in aquaculture, pollution, and destruction of coral reefs.[51]
Has not been rediscovered since its discovery in 1916, and is only known from specimens found in Paete, laguna. With Paete's rapid urbanization and being a heavily populated location with heavy forest degradation. The population of this damselfly is expected to be critically endangered if not extinct.[52]
