Species of bird
Hodgens' waterhen (Tribonyx hodgenorum) is an extinct rail species from New Zealand.[2] Its name commemorates the Hodgen brothers who were owners of the Pyramid Valley swamp where the holotype was discovered. It reached a weight of 280 g and its wings were so reduced that it was unable to fly. It occupied a wide range of habitats, including open forest and grassland along riverbanks.
