xenicus longipes latin

In addition, the bushwren (Xenicus longipes), another acanthisittid recently extinct, was largely flightless.

The rockwren is the only surviving species in the genus Xenicus, and is thought to have been closely related to the formerly more widespread bushwren.

Bushwren, -Xenicus longipes (extinct)

The third subspecies, X. l. variabilis or Stead's bushwren, was found on Stewart Island/Rakiura and nearby islands.

The bushwren (Xenicus longipes), bush wren, or mātuhituhi in Maori, was a very small and almost flightless bird endemic to New Zealand.

Like the bushwren and the rifleman, the rock wren is a poor flier, rarely flying more than 2 m off the ground or for distances of more than 30 m.
