Tityridae
Tityridae is family of suboscine passerine birds found in forest and woodland in the Neotropics. The 45 species in this family were formerly spread over the families Tyrannidae, Pipridae and Cotingidae (''see Taxonomy (biology), Taxonomy''). As yet, no widely accepted common name exists for the family, although tityras and allies and tityras, mourners and allies have been used. They are small to medium-sized birds. Under current classification, the family ranges in size from the buff-throated purpletuft, at and , to the masked tityra, at up to and . Most have relatively short tails and large heads. Taxonomy and systematics The family Tityridae (as the subfamily Tityrinae) containing the genera ''Tityra'' and ''Pachyramphus'' was introduced by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1840. Traditionally, the genus ''Laniocera'' was included in the family Tyrannidae, the genera ''Iodopleura'', ''Laniisoma'', ''Tityra'', ''Pachyramphus'' and ''Xenopsaris'' were included in the ...

Iodopleura
The purpletufts (''Iodopleura'') are a genus of birds in the family Tityridae. It has traditionally been placed in the cotinga family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae, - South American Classification Committee (2007) where now placed by South American Classification Committee, SACC. These relatively small, short-tailed birds are found in the Canopy (biology), canopy of forests in tropical South America. Their name is a reference to the purple feather tufts on the flanks of the male, but these are often not visible when the wings are held closed, and females lack them entirely.

Pachyramphus
A becard is a bird of the genus ''Pachyramphus'' in the family Tityridae. Taxonomy The genus ''Pachyramphus'' was introduced in 1839 by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in the volume on birds by John Gould that formed part of Charles Darwin's ''Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle''. The type species was designated by Gray in 1840 as the green-backed becard (''Pachyramphus viridis''). The generic name is from the Ancient Greek ''pakhus'' meaning "stout" or "thick" and ''rhamphos'' meaning "bill". The genus had traditionally been placed in Cotingidae or Tyrannidae, but evidence strongly suggests that it is better placed in the family Tityridae, where it is now placed by the International Ornithologists' Union, IOC. Extant species The genus contains eighteen species: Former species Some authorities, either presently or formerly, recognize several additional species as belonging to the genus ''Pachyramphus'' including: * Rusty-vented canastero (as ''Bathmidura Dorbign ...

Tityra Semifasciata -Brazil-8
The tityras are passerine birds in the genus ''Tityra'' in the family Tityridae. They are found from southern Mexico, through Central America, to northern and central South America, including Trinidad. These are medium-sized birds, typically around long, with large bills. The adult males are greyish-white above and white below, except for the wings and tail which are at least partially black. The males of all three species also have black head markings. The females are similar, but are duller, with browner or greyer head markings and often streaked body plumage. The black-tailed and the masked tityra both have a conspicuous red eye-ring and base of the bill. Taxonomy The genus ''Tityra'' was introduced by French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816, with the black-tailed tityra named as the type species. The genus name comes from "Tityri" – the name given by the Ancient Greeks to the satyrs and other mythological companions of Pan (god), Pan and Bacchus. This is a refe ...
