Rallidae Rafinesque 1815

Description

Rallidae

Crex crex (VAG): occurs in western and northwestern Europe east to northwestern China and central Siberia. It breeds in a large part of Europe and overwinters in southern central Africa (Taylor, 1996). In Brazil, this species is vagrant and there is only one documented record for Fernando de Noronha/PE (Burgos & Olmos, 2013).

Gallinula angulata (VAG): occurs in Senegal and Gambia east to Ethiopia and south to northern and eastern Namibia, Botswana and northeastern South Africa (Taylor, 1996). In Brazil, there is only one record of an immature individual collected in the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago. This is the first record for the New World and possibly the first documented case of transoceanic vagrancy in this species (Bencke et al., 2005).
