New World barbets are birds in the family Capitonidae in the [[Biology:Order|order]] [[Biology:Piciformes|Piciformes]].<ref name="IOC" /> The New World barbets are plump birds, with short necks and large heads. Most [[Biology:Species|species]] are brightly coloured, with bold patterns of mainly green, red, yellow, white, or black. Their [[Biology:Rictal bristle|rictal bristle]]s (stiff hair-like feathers at the base of the beak) are shorter and less dense than those of the [[Biology:Megalaimidae|Asian]] and [[Biology:Lybiidae|African barbets]]. They are native to the Neotropics of South and Central America, where they inhabit a variety of forests.<ref name="BOW" />

There are currently 15 extant [[Biology:Species|species]] of New World barbets recognised by the [[Organization:International Ornithologists' Union|International Ornithologists' Union]].<ref name="IOC" />

== Conventions ==

Conservation status codes listed follow the [[Organization:International Union for Conservation of Nature|International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN) [[Organization:IUCN Red List|Red List of Threatened Species]]. Range maps are provided wherever possible; if a range map is not available, a description of the barbet's range is provided. Ranges are based on the IOC World Bird List for that species unless otherwise noted. Population estimates are of the number of mature individuals and are taken from the IUCN Red List.

This list follows the [[Biology:Taxonomic treatment|taxonomic treatment]] (designation and order of species) and nomenclature (scientific and common names) of version 13.2 of the IOC World Bird List.<ref name="IOC" /> Where the taxonomy proposed by the IOC World Bird List conflicts with the taxonomy followed by the IUCN{{efn|The IUCN follows the taxonomy proposed by the HBW and BirdLife Taxonomic Checklist.<ref name="BirdLife" />}} or the 2023 edition of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World,<ref name="ClementsChecklist" /> the disagreement is noted next to the species's common name (for nomenclatural disagreements) or scientific name (for taxonomic disagreements).

== Classification ==
The [[Organization:International Ornithologists' Union|International Ornithologists' Union]] (IOU) recognises 15 species of New World barbets in two genera.<ref name="IOC" /> This list does not include hybrid species, extinct prehistoric species, or putative species not yet accepted by the IOU.
