Neomixisu. g. R. B. Sharpe, Proc. Zool. Soc. Pt. I. June 1881. p. 195. Not 

 distantly related to Mixornis , but easily distinguished by the shape of the bill, 

 which is conical and pointed, with a very sharp culminal ridge, and scarcely any 

 perceptible rictal bristles. In Madagascar it finds its nearest ally in Bernieria, 

 like which genus it has the culmen as long as the tarsus ; but the pointed conical 

 bill is very different from the long thin bill of Bernieria. Typus : N. striatigula 

 n. sp. von Madagascar. Ebenda p. 195. pi. 19.

 fere aequalibus ; pedes validiusculi , digitis amplis ; cauda rectricibus XH , valde 

 graduatis. Typus: O. rubiyinosa n. sp. von Neu-Britannien. Ebenda pi. 39,
