Found in Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru. Inhabits wet grasslands, marsh edges, and seasonally flooded savannas. Extremely secretive; known from few specimens.

White Swamphen (Porphyrio albus) is an extinct all-white swamphen formerly endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia. Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery.
