二名法 Atlantisia rogersiLowe, 1923 特里斯坦群岛中的伊纳克塞瑟布尔岛 荒岛秧鸡（学名： Atlantisia rogersi），又名亚特兰蒂斯之鸟，也称呆秧鸡，是秧鸡科的单型属荒岛秧鸡属中的唯一一种。仅分布于南大西洋英国海外领地特里斯坦-达库尼亚中的伊纳克塞瑟布尔岛。荒岛秧鸡是世界上现存不会飞行的鸟类中体形最小的，其体长仅13～15.5厘米，体重34～49克。荒岛秧鸡首次被英国外科医生、鸟类爱好者珀西·洛（Percy Lowe）发现描述于1923年。[2] 有研究表明，荒岛秧鸡的祖先很可能在约150万年前就飞到了伊纳克塞瑟布尔岛上。后来由于伊纳克塞瑟布尔岛上资源稀少并且没有陆地掠食者，荒岛秧鸡逐渐失去了飞行能力。[3] 参考资料 ^ Atlantisia rogersi.

Encyclopedic overview
The Inaccessible Island rail, or Inaccessible rail (Laterallus rogersi), is a small bird species of the rail family, Rallidae. Endemic to Inaccessible Island in the Tristan Archipelago in the isolated south Atlantic, it is the smallest extant flightless bird in the world. The species was formally described by physician Percy Lowe in 1923 but had first come to the attention of scientists 50 years earlier. The Inaccessible Island rail's taxonomic affinities and origin were a long-standing mystery; in 2018 its closest relative was identified as the South American dot-winged crake, and it was decided that both species are best classified in the genus Laterallus.
The Inaccessible Island rail has brown plumage, black bill and feet, and adults have a red eye. It occupies most habitats on Inaccessible Island, from the beaches to the central plateau, feeding on a variety of small invertebrates and also some plant matter. Pairs are territorial and monogamous, with both parents being responsible for incubating the eggs and raising the chicks. Its adaptations to living on a tiny island at high densities include low base metabolic rates, small clutch sizes, and flightlessness.
