The toucan-barbets are the small bird genus Semnornis. This was often included in the paraphyletic barbets but recently usually considered a distinct family Semnornithidae; alternatively, all barbets might be moved to the toucan family Ramphastidae. It contains a mere 2 species which are found in the Neotropics:
- Prong-billed Barbet, Semnornis frantzii
- Toucan Barbet, Semnornis ramphastinus
