Kaufman (1994) gives the following breakdown:

Paresí group
- Paresí aka Parecís, Haliti
- Saraveca aka Sarave (†)
Waurá group
- Waura–Mehináku aka Wauja, Meinaku
- Yawalapiti aka Jaulapiti
- Custenau aka Kustenaú (†)

Ethnologue 16 adds Enawené-Nawé (Kaufman's Salumã), which Kaufman had left unclassified and which Aikhenvald places in her Southern Arawak. In addition, Agavotaguerra, which is listed as 'unclassified', is said to be related to Waura and Yawalapiti.
