Asities''Philepitta'' ''Neodrepanis'' The asities are a family of small passerine Aves species found in Madagascar. They were thought to have been related to the Pitta (bird)s, hence the scientific name, but a study by Prum (1993) suggested that they are actually just a subfamily of broadbills. Here they are considered traditionally as a separate family. These are plump strong-legged birds of the Madagascan forests which take fruit and insects and nest in trees or scrub. The ''Neodrepanis'' species will take nectar, and were formerly known as false sunbirds. * Family: Philepittidae ** Velvet Asity, ''Philepitta castanea'' ** Schlegel's Asity, ''Philepitta schlegeli'' ** Sunbird Asity, ''Neodrepanis coruscans'' ** Yellow-bellied Asity, ''Neodrepanis hypoxanthus'' Tyranni See other meanings of words starting from letter: AAB | AC | AD | AE | AF | AG | AH | AI | AJ | AK | AL | AM | AN | AO | AP | AR | AS | AT | AU | AW | AX | AY | AZ |Words begining with Asities: Asities
