The toucan-barbets are small birds in the genus Semnornis. The genus was often included in the paraphyletic barbets, but recently is usually classified into a distinct family, Semnornithidae; alternatively, all barbets might be moved to the toucan family Ramphastidae as a subfamily, Semnornithinae. Toucan-barbets comprise only two species: the toucan barbet and the prong-billed barbet.
Toucans are Neotropical birds in the family Ramphastidae. The Ramphastidae are most closely related to the Toucan barbets. They are brightly marked and have large, often colorful bills. The family includes five genera and over 40 different species.
