1 living, 2 species and 1 subspecies recently extinct The genus Dryolimnas comprises birds in the rail family.

The Réunion rail, a member of this genus, became extinct in the 17th century.

The white-throated rail of Aldabra is the last surviving flightless bird in the western Indian Ocean.

Though much larger, the skeletons of these rails show similarities to the rails of the genus Lewinia.

This has been supported by DNA evidence, which finds strong support for a clade containing Crex, Lewinina, Dryolimnas, and the Snoring rail.
