Rallina is a genus of bird in the rail family, Rallidae. It contains four species found in forest and marshland in Asia and Australasia.[2] They are 18–34 cm long and mainly chestnut or brown, often with black and white markings.[3] They are four species that are now placed in the genus Rallicula that were previously included in the genus Rallina. In fact, some taxonomic authorities continue to place them there. A fifth species, the Great Nicobar crake was proposed but not accepted as a separate species.[4]
