Reunion Rail (Dryolimnas augusti). Extinct. A flightless rail formerly endemic to Réunion Island, Indian Ocean. Known only from sub-fossil bones; estimated around 35 cm. Closely related to the White-throated Rail. Extinct by the 18th century, likely due to introduced rats, pigs and hunting by early settlers.

Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery. Related to Australasian Swamphen.
