Caprimulgiformes

Caprimulgiformes sunt ordo avium cui sunt multae aves quibus sunt distributio geographica per orbem terrarum praeter Antarcticam. Quae aves plerumque sunt insectivora nocturna. Nomen ordinis ex falsam opinionem morum vescendi Caprimulgi europaei deducitur.

Systematica
Taxinomia variarum avium quae in ordinem digeruntur diu controversa difficilisque est, praecipue de Caprimulginis et de paraphylia Caprimulgiformium traditionalium erga "Apodiformes," ordinem separatum usitate putatum.

Consociatio internationalis ad naturam conservandam (IUCN) hanc Caprimulgiformium classificationem sancit, quae studia phylogenetica recentia recipit:
Familia Trochilidae (368 species)
Familia Apodidae (96 species)
Familia Caprimulgidae (98 species)
Familia Podargidae (14 species)
Familia Aegothelidae (10 species)
Familia Nyctibiidae (7 species)
Familia Hemiprocnidae (4 species)
Familia Steatornithidae (1 species)

Definitio IUCN ordinem Caprimulgiformium idem ac cladus Strisorum habet.
