Tephrodornithidae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tephrodornithidae is a proposed family of birds that includes the genera Hemipus, Tephrodornis and Philentoma. The family was proposed in 2006 on the basis of a molecular phylogenetic study by Moyle which showed a close relation between Hemipus and Tephrodornis.[1] The family is however not well supported and others argue for a broader treatment of the genera under the Vangidae.[2]
