Clades
Leptosomiformes Eucavitaves

Cavitaves is a clade that contains the order Leptosomiformes (cuckoo roller) and the clade Eucavitaves (a large assemblage of birds that includes woodpeckers, kingfishers and trogons). ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]} This group was defined in the PhyloCode by George Sangster and colleagues in 2022 as "the least inclusive crown clade containing Leptosomus discolor and Picus viridis ". ^[7] The name refers to the fact that the majority of them nest in cavities.
