Mustelirallus Bonaparte, 1856	4	NA MA SA	Bona	1856	2	Mustelirallus is resurrected for Ash-throated Crake, formerly included in Porzana, but which is closest to Neocrex and other members of the Aramides clade (Garcia-R et al. 2014; SACC 650). Expand Mustelirallus to include species formerly assigned to Neocrex and Cyanolimnas which is supported by phylogenetic analyses and some morphological features (Garcia-R et al. 2014, 2021; Brown et al. 2022; Depino et al. 2023; Chesser et al. 2023).

Aptenorallus Kirchman, McInerney, Giarla, Olson, Slikas & Fleischer, RC, 2021	1	OR	Kirc	2021	14	Gen. nov.: Aptenorallus is a newly described genus for the phylogenetically distinct Calayan Rail formerly placed in Gallirallus (Kirchman et al. 2021; Kirchman 2021).

One solution is to treat Yellow-breasted Crake in its own monotypic genus Hapalocrex Ridgway, 1920 and separate out the "American Black" clade of Laterallus (which includes jamaicensis, spilonota, spiloptera, and rogersi) as Creciscus Cabanis, 1857 (Stervander et al. 2019).
