Hawkins's rail (Diaphorapteryx hawkinsi), also called the giant Chatham Island rail or mehonui, is an extinct species of flightless rail. It was endemic to the Chatham Islands east of New Zealand. It is known to have existed only on the main islands of Chatham Island and Pitt Island. Hawkins's rail was the largest terrestrial bird native to the Chatham Islands, around 40 centimetres (16 in) tall and weighing about 2 kilograms (4.4 lb). It had a long, downward curving beak. Historic accounts likely referring to the bird by the name "mehonui" suggest that it was red-brown in colour, and it has been compared to the weka in ecological habits, using its beak to probe decaying wood for invertebrates. Hawkins's rail likely became extinct due to overhunting by the islands native inhabitants, the M

  • Diaphorapteryx hawkinsi est une espèce éteinte d'oiseaux de la famille des Rallidae qui était endémique des Îles Chatham (est de la Nouvelle-Zélande). Il était généralement considéré que cette espèce avait disparu avant l'arrivée des Européens, mais une description découverte récemment laisse penser qu'elle existait toujours aux alentours des XVe et XVIe siècles, et possiblement encore au XIXe siècle.

  • Die Hawkins-Ralle (Diaphorapteryx hawkinsi) oder Mehonui ist eine ausgestorbene Rallenart von den Chatham-Inseln.Beschrieben wurde die Art 1892 durch den Forschungsreisenden Henry Ogg Forbes anhand von Skelettüberresten (u. a. ein vollständig erhaltener Schädel), die er vom Paläontologen William Hawkins erhalten hatte. Forbes erkannte die ungewöhnliche Größe dieser Ralle und schätze sie auf ungefähr 40 cm. Das Gewicht gab er mit 2 kg an. Des Weiteren war sie durch relativ kurze Fußknochen und vollständige Flugunfähigkeit charakterisiert. Ihre Nahrung bestand vermutlich aus Insekten und Farnwurzeln. (de)
