Fluvicolinae is a subfamily of passerine birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae, encompassing species widely distributed across the Americas.
Taxonomy
Broad studies in molecular genetics performed by Tello et al. (2009) discovered a large number of new relationships within the family Tyrannidae that were not reflected in the majority of species classified as part of the family.[1] Following these studies, Ohlson et al. (2013) proposed a reorganization and division of the family Tyrannidae, which according to the proposal would divide the family into the subfamilies Fluvicolinae, Hirundineinae Tello, Moyle, Marchese & Cracraft, 2009, Muscigrallinae Ohlson, Irestedt, Ericson & Fjeldså, 2013, Tyranninae Vigors, 1825 and Elaeniinae, Cabanis & Heine, 1859–60.[2]
The cladogram below is based on a large molecular phylogentic study of the suboscines by Michael Harvey and collaborators that was published in 2020.[3] The taxonomy follows that of the list of world birds maintained by Frank Gill, Pamela C. Rasmussen and David Donsker on behalf of the International Ornithological Committee (IOC).[4] The tribes are those proposed by Jan Ohlson and collaborators in 2020 other than the genus Muscigralla that is placed in the tribe Muscigrallini rather than a separate subfamily.[5]
