Philepitta is a genus of bird in the family Philepittidae. Established by Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire in 1838, the genus contains the following species:[1]
| Image | Scientific name | Common name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Philepitta castanea | Velvet asity | eastern Madagascar |
 |
Philepitta schlegeli | Schlegel's asity | northwestern Madagasca |
The genus name Philepitta is a combination of the French name philédon, for the friarbirds of the family Meliphagidae and pitta, for the birds of the genus "pitta".[2]
Philepitta is now the type-genus of a new bird family, the Philepittidae, into which the Asites of Madagascar have been placed.[3]
