Neomixis is a genus of bird formerly placed in the Old World babbler family but now considered to belong to the Cisticolidae family. The genus comprises three small forest birds endemic to Madagascar:

  • Stripe-throated jery (Neomixis striatigula)
  • Common jery (Neomixis tenella)
  • Green jery (Neomixis viridis)
  • Another species the wedge-tailed jery (Hartertula flavoviridis) was until recently placed in this genus but recent biochemical studies suggest its true relationships lie elsewhere.
