Family/Sub-family RALLIDAE Species name author (Kittlitz, 1858) Taxonomic source(s) Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993) Summary Porzana monasa was endemic to coastal swamps and marshes, taro patches and ";continually wet, shadowy places in the forest"; on Kosrae, Caroline Islands, Federated States of Micronesia. Kittlitz collected the only two known specimens (now in St Petersburg) in 1827-1828, and regarded the species as uncommon even then2. It declined to extinction over the next half-century following the arrival of rats from missionary and whaling ships in the 1830s and 1840s. Measurements of the carpometacarpii from x-rays of the two specimens suggest that the species was flightless. www.birdlife.net/datazone/search/species_search.html?action=SpcHTMDetails.asp&sid=2912&m=0 |

"92. Ortygometra tabuensis.
This is the Spotless Crake. Ortygometra tabuensis was given as a synonym of this species on the Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosrae_crakeAn error obviously. |
