The asities are a family of birds, Philepittidae, that are endemic to Madagascar. The asities consist of four species in two genera. The Neodrepanis species are known as sunbird-asities and were formerly known as false sunbirds.[1]
Philepitta is now the type-genus of a new bird family, the Philepittidae, into which the asities of Madagascar have been placed.[2]
