DEFINITIONS
GYMNOCREX
(Rallidae; Ϯ Blue-faced Rail G. rosenbergii) Gr. γυμνος gumnos bare, naked; genus Crex Bechstein, 1803, corncrake; "Gen. nov. Gymnocrex, SALVAD. (γνμνος [sic] nudus et crex). Novum genus ex familia Rallidarum; rostro capitis longitudinem aequante, basi valde elevato, apicem versus attenuato, naribus ovalibus; lateribus capitis late nudis; tarsis elongatis; digitis brevibus, praesertim halluce; alis latis; cauda mediocri, rectricibus mollibus. Typus: Rallina rosenbergii, Schleg. Sp. 75. Gymnocrex rosenbergii (SCHLEG.) ... Questa specie è ben descritta dallo Schlegel, ma certamente non appartiene al genere Rallina; il becco molto alto alla base ed assottigliato alla punta, ed il grande spazio nudo intorno agli occhi, specialmente nella parte posteriore, distinguono questa forma da tutte le altre."
