Biology:Eurylaimides
Eurylaimides (Old World suboscines) is a clade of passerine birds that are distributed in tropical regions around the Indian Ocean, as well as an inland African species, Grauer's broadbill, and a single American species, the sapayoa. This group is divided into five families and three superfamilies.[1] The families listed here are those recognised by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC).[2]
- Sapayooidea
- Sapayoidae: broad-billed sapayoa
- Eurylaimoidea
- Eurylaimidae: typical broadbills
- Calyptomenidae: African and green broadbills
- Pittoidea
- Pittidae: pittas
- Philepittidae: asities

Historical classification
This clade was previously classified into two superfamilies:
- Superfamily Eurylaimoidea
- Philepittidae: asities
- Eurylaimidae: typical broadbills
- Calyptomenidae: African and green broadbills
- Sapayoidae: sapayoa
- Superfamily Pittoidea
- Pittidae: pittas
The monotypic Sapayoidae family (consisting only of a single species, the sapayoa) has since been moved into its own superfamily of Sapayooidea. Additionally, Philepittidae (asities) has been moved into the superfamily of Pittoidea along with Pittidae (pittas).
