鴷翠鳥類

鴷翠鳥類（學名：Picocoraciae）是一種演化支，包含犀鳥目（學名：Bucerotiformes，包括：犀鳥和戴勝）和Picodynastornithes 演化支（包含諸如翠鳥和佛法僧，啄木鳥和巨嘴鳥等鳥類），此分類植基於各種遺傳分析和多種形態學研究Naish, D. (2012). "Birds." Pp. 379-423 in Brett-Surman, M.K., Holtz, T.R., and Farlow, J. O. (eds.), The Complete Dinosaur (Second Edition). Indiana University Press (Bloomington & Indianapolis).Kimball, R.T. et al.
