There are three geographically separated subspecies:[2]
- D. b. broadbenti (McCoy, 1867) - the Coorong Rufous Bristlebird occurs from the mouth of the Coorong in South Australia to Portland Bay and Port Fairy in Victoria.
- D. b. caryochrous Schodde & Mason, 1999 - the Otways Rufous Bristlebird is found on the coast of the Otway Ranges in Victoria from Peterborough to Anglesea.
- D. b. litoralis (Milligan, 1902) - the extinct Western Rufous Bristlebird formerly occurred in south-western Australia between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Mentelle.
Conservation status
The Rufous Bristlebird is considered by the IUCN to be of Least Concern.[1][3] Both subspecies occurring in Victoria) are listed as threatened under the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988). Under this Act, an Action Statement for the recovery and future management of this species has been prepared.[4] On the 2007 advisory list of threatened vertebrate fauna in Victoria, both subspecies of the Rufous Bristlebird that occur within the state are separately listed as near threatened.[5] The Western Rufous Bristlebird is listed as extinct under the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
