రైల్స్ లేదా రాలిడే (rails, or Rallidae) ప్రపంచమంతా విస్తరించిన పక్షుల కుటుంబం. ఈ కుటుంబంలో crakes, coots, and gallinules ఉన్నాయి. చాలా జాతులు తడినేలల్లో కనిపిస్తాయి. ఇవి ఎడారి, ధృవ ప్రాంతాలు మరియు ఆల్పైన్ పర్వతాలు మినహా అన్ని ఖండాలలో ఉన్నాయి. ముఖ్యంగా దట్టమైన అడవులు వీటి ఆవాసాలు.

శాస్త్రీయ వర్గీకరణ

The family Rallidae has traditionally been grouped with two families of larger birds, the cranes and bustards, as well as several smaller families of usually "primitive" mid-sized amphibious birds, to make up the order Gruiformes. The alternative Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, which has been widely accepted in America, raises the family to ordinal level as the Ralliformes. Given the uncertainty about gruiform monophyly, this may or may not be correct; it certainly seems more justified than most of the Sibley-Ahlquist proposals. On the other hand, such a group would probably also include the Heliornithidae (finfoots and Sungrebe), an exclusively tropical group that is somewhat convergent with grebes, and usually united with the rails in the Ralli.
