Mayr's swiftlet (Aerodramus orientalis) is a species of swift in the family Apodidae. It was first described by Ernst Mayr in 1935 under the name Collocalia orientalis and is now placed in the genus Aerodramus. It is found on the islands of New Ireland and Guadalcanal. The 2023 IUCN Red List assessment by BirdLife International, cited in the English Wikipedia article, rates it Data Deficient, which means too little is known about it to judge how threatened it is. The source article is a short stub with no further description, so no more is claimed here.
