Mentocrex is a genus of birds in the flufftail family, Sarothruridae. The genus includes two species, both of which are endemic to forests in Madagascar.
The genus contains two species.[1]
These two species were formerly placed in the genus Canirallus together with the grey-throated rail (Canirallus oculeus). A molecular genetic study published in 2019 found that the grey-throated rail is not closely related to the Madagascan and tsingy wood rails. The grey-throated rail is related to the Rallidae while the wood rails are closely related to the Sarothrura.[2]
