Part of Figure 1a from Chaves et al. (2020) shows a dated phylogeny based on mitochondrial genomes. Here, the Galápagos Rail Laterallus spilonota comes out as a sister to the Inaccessible Island Rail L. (former Atlantisia) rogersi, simply because the no mitochondrial genomes have been sequenced for the two other species in the clade—Black Rail L. jamaicensis and Dot-winged Crake L. (formerly Porzana) spiloptera.
