Not sure what this sentence could mean
I have removed the following (slightly corrected) sentence from the article: "When it was described in 1917, scientists thought that it would be the last endemic species named. This was later found to be untrue." No scientist in 1917 could possibly have thought that no new endemic species would ever be named, since "endemic" is stated without any limiting qualifiers. Is the intent to say "endemic to Nihoa"? Or, "endemic to the Hawaiian Islands"? Or, what? Since no citation is given, the reader can't know what some scientists thought in 1917, nor can a reader know what discoveries led to the claim being declared untrue.
