The genus Zapornia was introduced in 1816 by the English zoologist William Elford Leach in a catalogue of animals in the British Museum. He included a single species, the little crake which is therefore the type species.[2] The genus name is an anagram of the genus Porzana that was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis-Pierre Vieillot.[3] The species now placed in this genus were formerly assigned to Porzana and Amaurornis.[4][5]
† Hawaiian rail, Zapornia sandwichensis (extinct) (formerly placed in Porzana)
