The subantarctic rayadito (Aphrastura subantarctica) is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae that is endemic to the Diego Ramírez Islands, an archipelago located in the southernmost extreme of Chile.{{cite web | title=Scientists find new bird species at South America's edge | website=Reuters | date=2022-08-26 | url=https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/scientists-find-new-bird-species-south-americas-edge-2022-08-26/ | access-date=2022-08-28}}
Taxonomy
Subantarctic 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.{{cite journal | last1=Rozzi | first1=Ricardo | last2=Quilodrán | first2=Claudio S. | last3=Botero-Delgadillo | first3=Esteban | last4=Napolitano | first4=Constanza | last5=Torres-Mura | first5=Juan C. | last6=Barroso | first6=Omar | last7=Crego | first7=Ramiro D. | last8=Bravo | first8=Camila | last9=Ippi | first9=Silvina | last10=Quirici | first10=Verónica | last11=Mackenzie | first11=Roy | last12=Suazo | first12=Cristián G. | last13=Rivero-de-Aguilar | first13=Juan | last14=Goffinet | first14=Bernard | last15=Kempenaers | first15=Bart | last16=Poulin | first16=Elie | last17=Vásquez | first17=Rodrigo A. | title=The Subantarctic Rayadito (Aphrastura subantarctica), a new bird species on the southernmost islands of the Americas | journal=Scientific Reports | publisher=Springer | volume=12 | issue=1 | date=2022-08-26 | page=13957 | issn=2045-2322 | doi=10.1038/s41598-022-17985-4 | pmid=36028531 | pmc=9418250 | bibcode=2022NatSR..1213957R }}

Habitat
While Aphrastura spinicauda lives in forested habitats, A. subantarctica lives in the non-forested habitats of the Diego Ramírez Islands.{{cite web | title=Scientists find new bird species in untouched outpost of South America - 27.08.2022 | website=DW.COM | url=https://www.dw.com/en/scientists-find-new-bird-species-in-untouched-outpost-of-south-america/a-62948489 | access-date=2022-08-28}}
