Tyrannides (New World suboscines) is a clade of passerine birds that are endemic to the Americas. [1] The group likely originated in South America during the Eocene, about 45 million years ago. [2]

Taxonomy

The Tyrannides is divided into two clades (Furnariida and Tyrannida) that contain thirteen families. [3] [4] The families listed here are those recognised by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC). [5]

Phylogeny

The cladogram below showing the family level phylogenetic relationships of the Tyrannides is based on a molecular genetic study by Carl Oliveros and collaborators published in 2019. [4] The families and species numbers are from the list maintained by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC). [5]
