Marquesan Swamphen
Marquesan Swamphen (Porphyrio paepae) is an extinct flightless swamphen known only from subfossil bones from the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. Lost following Polynesian settlement and later European contact. Part of the broader pattern of Pacific island rail extinctions linked to human arrival and introduced rats.

Kosrae Crake (Zapornia monasa) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Kosrae in the Caroline Islands, Micronesia. Known from bones and a single 19th-century description. Dark plumage, reduced wings. Extirpated following Polynesian and later European settlement; likely lost to introduced rats and cats.
