• The prehistoric Madagascar Sheldgoose, Centrornis majori, the "Woodard"
The Blue-winged Goose, Cyanochen cyanopterus belongs either to these, or to lineage closer to ducks.

The three species of small waterfowl in the genus Nettapus are named "pygmy geese", e.g. the Cotton Pygmy Goose (N. javanica). They seem to represent an ancient lineage like the Cape Barren Goose and the Spur-winged Goose.
