 Rallidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The family Rallidae is a large group of small to medium-sized birds which includes the rails, crakes, coots, and gallinules.
The family Rallidae has traditionally been grouped with two families of larger birds, the cranes and bustards to make up the order Gruiformes.
The alternative Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, which has been widely accepted in America, raises the family to ordinal level as the Ralliformes.

Since the monophyly or polyphyly (realtedness or unrelatedness) of this "order" is not agreed upon by the professional community, it seems best to allow the advocates of the respective hypotheses to elaborate their own narratives to stand side by side for the consideration and comparison of the public community at large.
The Psophiidae are the closest living relatives to the Cariamidae (Sibley and Ahlquist 1990, Mayr 2002), a hypothesis which has been advocated for some time (e.g., Gadow 1893) and has been corroborated by the fossil record of these birds (see A new gruiform from Messel).
Olson (1973) reviewed the classification of Rallidae and this proposal was by default accepted by Sibley and Ahlquist in their 1990 work for lack of proper DNA sequences to assess Olson's phylogeny.

Within the Gruiformes, Rallidae and the Heliornithidae are associated as the Ralli, while the Gruidae.
Some (but not all) authorities raise the Rallidae to ordinal status.

In fact the Gruidae form a somewhat isolated group.
Huxley included them together with the Rallidae in his Geranomorphae; but a more extended view of their various characters would probably assign them rather as relatives of the Bustardsnot that it must be thought that the two families have not been for a very long time distinct.
Grus, indeed, is a very ancient form, its remains appearing in the Miocene of France and Greece, as well as in the Pliocene and Post-pliocene of North America.
