	The Zoogeographic Position of the Hawaiian Islands, by Ernst Mayr
		The latinized stem of this word is drepani and by adding the family ending -idae, we get Drepaniidae.
		Gadow used the spelling Drepanididae, Sushkin Drepanidae; neither one seems to be formed correctly.) The exact determination of the relationship of this diversified family is obviously of paramount importance.
		Gadow (in Wilson and Evans, Aves Hawaiiensis, 1891-1899: 219-249) finally united them in the family Drepanididae, on the insistence of the field naturalist Perkins, whose observations of live birds had convinced him that the thick-billed and long-billed forms were closely related.

	The HAWAII birding tour with FIELD GUIDES INCORPORATED-worldwide birdwatching adventures and holidays for birders.
		As an island group, the Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated archipelago in the world.
		Isolation equals speciation, and Hawaii comes through with an assortment of endemic species, including the Drepanididae (Hawaiian Honeycreepers), an entire family endemic to the state!
		We will concentrate our time in trying to locate the endemic landbirds as well as the specialty seabirds, although we are sure to see a myriad of non-native species that now call Hawaii their home.
