Rallus montivagorum Rallus montivagorum n. sp. has a longer coracoid (14%) and humerus (23%) than R. carvaoensis n. sp. from São Miguel (U = -2.448; p = 0.007, U = -2.714; p = 0.002) and R. minutus n. sp. from São Jorge (34% and 35%), and a smaller coracoid than R. aquaticus (F1,54 = 167.293; p = <0.001, F1,53 = 123.804; p = 0.001) (16% and 13% respectively). The ulna is longer (16%) than in R. lowei n. sp. and in R. minutus n. sp. (60% longer; U = -2.646; p = 0.003) (Table 1), but smaller (15%) than in R. aquaticus (F1,50 = 124.784; p = <0.001). The carpometacarpus is longer (27%) than in R. carvaoensis n. sp. and R. minutus n. sp. (71%) (Table 1), but shorter (12%) than in R. aquaticus (U = -4.861, p <0.001). The femur length is similar to R. lowei n. sp., R. adolfocaesaris n. sp. and R. carvaoensis n. sp. (Table 1) (p = 0.601), but shorter (13%) than in R. aquaticus (U = -6.709, p <0.001). The tibiotarsus of R. montivagorum n. sp. is close in length to that of R. lowei n. sp. and R. ... : Published as part of Alcover, Josep Antoni, Pieper, Harald, Pereira, Fernando & Rando, Juan Carlos, 2015, Five new extinct species of rails (Aves: Gruiformes: Rallidae) from the Macaronesian Islands (North Atlantic Ocean), pp. 151-190 in Zootaxa 4057 (2) on pages 181-182, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4057.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/233597 ...
