Restricted to largely inaccessible Isla Selkirk (formerly Isla Masafuera) in Juan Fernández Islands, Chile, where it is uncommon and restricted to higher elevations. Favors dense fern forest and is often somewhat skulking, although can be tame and confiding when found. No similar species on the island. Plumage resembles Thorn-tailed Rayadito of mainland Chile, but less brightly patterned with duller pale eyebrow and duskier underparts.
