The genus has more than three dozen species. Along with the wagtails and longclaws, the pipits make up the family Motacillidae.

They are slender, often drab, ground-feeding insectivores of open country. Pipits are ground nesters, laying up to six speckled eggs.

The Golden Pipit, "Tmetothylacus tennelus", belongs to a distinct, monotypic genus.
