Tyrannides

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

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

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. The families and species numbers are from the list maintained by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC).
