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