Neomixis

1

Neomixis is a genus of small forest birds that are endemic to Madagascar. The genus was introduced by the English zoologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1881. The type species is the stripe-throated jery (Neomixis striatigula). The genus was formerly placed in the Old World babbler family but is now considered to belong to the family Cisticolidae.

Species

The genus comprises three species: Another species the wedge-tailed jery (Hartertula flavoviridis) was until recently placed in this genus but biochemical studies suggest its true relationships lie elsewhere.
