rhinochetidæ

from The Century Dictionary.

• A Polynesian family of precocial wading birds, related to the South American Eurypygidæ and the Madagascar Mesitidæ, typified by the genus Rhinochetus. The family is an isolated one, and represents in some respects a generalized type of structure now shared to any great extent by only the other two families named. It is confined, as far as known, to New Caledonia.
