Cabalus is a disputed Oceanian genus of birds in the family Rallidae.[1] Both species placed in the genus here were previously considered part of the genus Gallirallus, one was alternatively placed in Tricholimnas alone or together with the Lord Howe woodhen, and the other was initially included in Rallus.
