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).[2] The genus was formerly placed in the Old World babbler family but is now considered to belong to the family Cisticolidae.
Species
[edit | edit source]The genus includes three species:[3]

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