Hawkins' Rail Diaphorapteryx hawkinsi was known from the Chatham Islands, 800 km east of New Zealand. It is not currently classified as Extinct by BirdLife International (2004) and IUCN (2004) because its extinction was thought to have occurred before the cut-off date of 1500. However, recent evidence including a letter from Sigvard Jacob Dannefarerd to Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild in 1895 describing the species’ appearance, behaviour and Moriori hunting method suggests that this species survived into at least the late 1800s (Cooper and Tennyson 2004). It is therefore proposed to add this species as recently Extinct.
