Taxonomy
editSubantarctic rayadito individuals were formerly identified as belonging to the species Aphrastura spinicauda (thorn-tailed rayadito). However, the newly identified A. subantarctica has a larger body mass and shorter tails. In 2022, A. subantarctica was split off as a separate species from A. spinicauda by Ricardo Rozzi et al. (2022), on the basis of genetic, morphological, and behavioral evidence.[2]
The name of the new passerine species Aphrastura subantarctica was made available in the publication “El Rayadito subantártico: disponibilidad del binomio Aphrastura subantarctica (Passeriformes, Furnariidae)”[3][a] This nomenclatural act has been registered with ZooBank. The LSID for this publication is: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:1EF6362A-A30E-4EA5-8421-950F211EE5D0.
Habitat
editWhile Aphrastura spinicauda lives in forested habitats, A. subantarctica lives in the non-forested habitats of the Diego Ramírez Islands.[4]
