Blue-faced Rail (Gymnocrex rosenbergii) is a 28–32 cm rail endemic to Sulawesi and nearby Indonesian islands. Striking bare blue facial skin; dark brown above; chestnut-rufous below. Inhabits lowland and hill forest near streams, marshy forest clearings, and forest interior. Rarely encountered; forages on the forest floor.

Marquesan Swamphen (Porphyrio paepae) is an extinct flightless swamphen known only from subfossil bones from the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.
