Drepanidini
Drepanidini sunt tribus vel grex tantus parvarum avium subordinis Passerorum ordinis Passeriformium, quae in Havaiis endemicae sunt, cum avibus generis Carpodaci artissime cognatae. Quarum magna diversitas morphologica ex radiatione adaptiva in circumiectis insularibus effecta est.

Antequam rationes phylogeneticae moleculares excogitatae sunt, coniunctio drepanidinorum aliarumque specierum aviariarum controversa fuerat. Aliquot eruditi drepanidinos familiam Drepanididas, sed alii eos subfamiliam Drepanidinas familiae Fringillidarum putant. Omnis autem grex "Drepanidini" appellabatur in tractationibus ubi emberizidae et passerellidae inter fringillidas comprehendebantur; quod nomen unius subgregis avium aliis hodie praeponitur. Omnis grex recentissime inter carduelinas digestus est.

Proprietates
Pennis paene omnium carduelinarum Havaianarum specierum est odor proprius, qui, ut multi investigatores affirmant, "veterum carbasi tabernaculorum aliquantulum similis" olet.

Nonnulli drepanidini nectarivori flores Metrosiderae polymorphae petunt. Formae rostrorum, quae late variant, a rostris crassis et fringilliformibus ad rostra gracilia et decurva (ad certos flores scrutandos apta), ratione radiationis adaptivae exortae sunt, cum quaedam fringilla avita se ad multos locos oecologicos complendos evolveret. Aliquot viginti drepanidinorum species nuper exstinctae sunt, aliaeque mox post homines in insulas primum adventos, qui animalia introduxerunt (exempli gratia, rattos, sues, capros, boves), et habitationes naturales agriculturae causa converterunt.

Genera et species
Nomen praehistoricum hic significat species quae exstinctae inter primam colonizationem Havaianam (ex primo millennio exeunte) et adventum Europaeum anno 1778 factae sunt.
