The Mauritius olive white-eye (''Zosterops chloronothos''〔The species was first described and named ''Zosterops chloronothos'' by Viellot in ''Nouveau Dictionnaire d'Histoire Naturelle Appliquée Aux Arts...'' vol. 9, p.408.〕〔Sibley and Monroe's checklist of the Birds of the World, 1993.〕〔(Alan P. Peterson's checklist of the Birds of the World ).〕 often mistakenly spelled ''Zosterops chloronothus''〔(BirdLife Species Factsheet. )〕〔(2007) Rare Birds Yearbook 2008. England: MagDig Media Lmtd, 208. ISBN 978-0-9552607-3-5.〕) is a very rare passerine from the family of white-eyes (''Zosteropidae''). It is endemic to the island of Mauritius. ==Description== This species was first described in 1817 by French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot as ''Zosterops chloronothos''. It can reach a size of about 10 cm. The upperparts are a dull olive-green, the underparts a paler colour. The belly and vent have a yellow hue and the eyes are surrounded by a conspicuous white ring. The males and females are similarly coloured. The habitat of the Mauritius olive white-eye is the evergreen bushes and forests in the area of the Black River Gorges National Park and the Macchabée-Bel Ombre Biosphere Reserve. Its diet consists of nectar and insects. During the breeding period, between September and March, two pale eggs are laid in a cup-shaped nest, which is well-hidden in the foliage. Males and females share brooding tasks. Normally only one juvenile is reared, which becomes fully fledged in about 14 days.
