The South Island Tomtit or Ngirungiru is from the family of the Australian Robin.

The species is not threatened and has adapted to the changes made to New Zealand’s biodiversity.

There are five subspecies of the Tomtit, each species being restricted to each of the following islands or island groups, North Island, South Island, the Snares Islands, the Chatham Islands and the Auckland Islands. Four of these five subspecies have been elevated to full species in the past (the Chatham subspecies was retained with the South Island Tomtit), but genetic studies have shown that these subspecies diverged relatively recently
