See text Oxyruncus Onychorhynchus Myiobius Terenotriccus Schiffornis Laniisoma Laniocera Iodopleura Tityra Xenopsaris Pachyramphus Tityridae is family of suboscine passerine birds found in forest and woodland in the Neotropics.

The family Tityridae (as the subfamily Tityrinae) containing the genera Tityra and Pachyramphus was introduced by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1840.

Three of these genera, Tityra, Pachyramphus and Xenopsaris, were later moved to Tyrannidae based on the morphology of their skull and syrinx.

[6] The existence of the family Tityridae (although simply treated as a clade) was first proposed in 1989 based on the morphology of several syringeal and skeletal features.

[13] A molecular phylogenetic study of passerine families published in 2019 sampled species from five genera in Tityridae.
