참새목에 속하는 조류 과의 하나이다. 참새목 중에서 가장 조류 과로 84개 속, 310종으로 이루어져 있다. 열대 기후 지역에 사는 조류로 동남아시아와 인도 아대륙에 가장 많은 종이 분포한다. 꼬리치레과의 범위에 대해서는 여러가지 설이 있지만, 여기에서는 미국 조류 학회(AOU)가 채용한 계통적이고 전통 분류에 비교적 가까운 범위를 기준으로 분류한다. == 하위 == ''Achaetops'' ''Actinodura'' ''Alcippe'' ''Arcanator'' ''Babax'' ''Chaetops'' ''Chamaea'' ''Chrysominla'' ''Chrysomma'' ''Crocias'' ''Cutia'' ''Dryonastes'' ''Dumetia'' ''Elachura'' ''Erpornis'' ''Fulvetta'' ''Garrulax'' ''Gypsophila'' ''Illadopsis'' ''Kakamega'' ''Kenopia'' ''Kupeornis'' ''Leioptila'' ''Leiothrix'' ''Leonardina'' ''Liocichla'' ''Lioparus'' ''Lioptilus'' ''Macronus'' ''Malacias'' ''Malia'' ''Mesia'' ''Minla'' ''Modulatrix'' ''Moupinia'' ''Mystacornis'' ''Myzornis'' ''Napothera'' ''Ophrydornis'' ''Parophasma'' ''Pellorneum'' ''Phyllanthus'' ''Pnoepyga'' ''Pseudominla'' ''Pterorhinus'' ''Pteruthius'' ''Ptilocichla'' ''Ptyrticus'' ''Rhinocichla'' ''Rhopocichla'' ''Rhopophilus'' ''Rimator'' ''Robsonius'' ''Siva'' ''Spelaeornis'' ''Stachyris'' ''Staphida'' ''Timalia'' ''Trichastoma'' ''Turdinus'' ''Turdoides'' ''Yuhina'' ''Zosterornis'' == 계통 분류 == == 각주 == *Alström, Per; Ericson, Per G.P.; Olsson, Urban Sundberg, Per (2006): Phylogeny and classification of the avian superfamily Sylvioidea.
