Ramphastides

Ramphastides is an infraorder of the order Piciformes that includes toucans and barbets.

Formerly, the barbets have been classified in a single family, the Capitonidae.

[1] However, this has turned out to be paraphyletic with regard to toucans, which resulted in the Capitonidae being split into several families.

[2][3] The Ramphastides contain five extant families.

Sometimes, they are treated as the superfamily Ramphastoidea.
