The Galapagos crake (Laterallus spilonota), also called the Galapagos rail and Darwin's rail, is a vulnerable species of rail in subfamily Rallinae of family Rallidae, the rails, gallinules, and coots. It is endemic to the Galápagos Islands.[2][3][1] It resembles its sister species, the black rail of the Americas, from which it diverged 1.2 million years ago.[4]
